Would you verify that passing --ghc-options when configuring a package adds the options to 'ghc-options:' if present in the .cabal file?
With pleasure. I made a «dummy» program to verify that (files here [1]):
1. A dummy `Main.hs` executable which uses an external library and also generates GHC warnings. 2. A simple `test-ghc-opts.cabal` file which has a `ghc-options:` to display warnings 3. A `build.sh` script which configures the program with a `ghc-options` to remove the [rpath] of dynamic linking.
If both the warnings are displayed and the [rpath] doesn't exist, it means that both ways of giving `ghc-options` are working side by side. It is the case on my computer! But I let you verify my scripts to be sure that I'm doing the test correctly.

Excellent, then that is indeed a better route than the one I embarked on. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus But whereas I previously held for Java a cordial dislike borne of having only a cursory notion of how it worked, now my dislike for the language can no longer be called at all "cordial", for familiarity has bred contempt. -- tom Christiansen
