I would guess that one of hpong's dependencies has been updated to a newer version, and that new version introduced an API incompatibility that now causes the hpong build to fail. It would be great if you could report that problem to the authors of hpong so that they can release an update of their package that fixes these errors. --- If you no longer wish to receive notifications about this package, please go the the above package page and click the UnNotify button.

If the c-library in question uses pkgconfig then have a look at the 'pkgconfig-depends:' property for CABAL. --- If you no longer wish to receive notifications about this package, please go the the above package page and click the UnNotify button.

from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18149 gdweber wrote: Hi peti, Not sure I understand your request. I don't think a Cabal file can declare a dependency on an Arch Linux package, so I think you mean something like includes and extra-libraries declarations, such as this: library ... includes: SDL/SDL_ttf.h extra-libraries: SDL_ttf-2.0 Is that what you need? One reason I'm puzzled is because in my own projects, I've recently had to comment out 'includes' and 'extra-libraries' lines in the Cabal file because of configuration errors. After reading your request, I tried uncommenting them and -- surprise! -- they now are okay again. I have no clue why those lines became errors, and now are correct again. --- If you no longer wish to receive notifications about this package, please go the the above package page and click the UnNotify button.

Adding another data file for dependency "hints"
by Rémy Oudompheng 05 Jan '11

Hello, Since pacman's dependency specification is much less powerful than in Cabal, cabal2arch may output wrong version constraints while trying to approximate the true specified dependencies. I prefer this to dropping all version requirements when they cannot be expressed in the pacman's way. In order to get improved PKGBUILDs I thought we could have a better usage of the dependency resolution capabilities in the Cabal library, this is summed up in this commit http://github.com/remyoudompheng/archhaskell/commit/2e614b2 This adds an extra file, platform-provides.txt, that lists our preferred versions for various packages. For the moment I have filled it with the contents of Haskell Platform. Regards, -- Rémy.

Unfortunately, this dependency is missing in the Cabal file provided on Hackage, i.e. the author of this package must add a line saying "Extra-Libraries: edit" or something like that. Could you please report this omission upstream? --- If you no longer wish to receive notifications about this package, please go the the above package page and click the UnNotify button.
