Wed Oct 17 07:31:08 PDT 2007 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Figure out if hsc2hs is using gcc or ghc as it's C compiler and pass the appropriate flags on the basis of knowing that. This is a hack. What we should do longer term is make hsc2hs always use gcc as it's C compiler and have Cabal figure out the right flags to pass it, rather than using ghc to pass on the appropriate flags to gcc.

patch applied (cabal-branches/cabal-1.2): When parsing ghc-pkg output, only look at the first package.conf file for GlobalPackageDB and SpecificPackageDB, and all package.conf files for UserPackageDB.

Before, we would consider user packages when fulfilling dependencies for global installs. ghc-pkg will refuse to install packages globally if they use user packages. Thus, without this patch, global installs can fail when you have user packages installed. M ./Distribution/Simple/GHC.hs -2 +10

patch applied (cabal-branches/cabal-1.2): Change the handling of cpp & ghc flags for hsc2hs

Tue Oct 16 16:16:52 PDT 2007 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Change the handling of cpp & ghc flags for hsc2hs The hsc2hs that comes with ghc uses ghc as the C compiler. This means we must escape the real cc flags. It also means we can ask ghc to add extra include dirs that we might need to find includes of dependent packages. This is a bit of a hack. In the longer term it'd be better for Cabal to collect the include dirs and cc options of dependent packages and to pass them explicitly itself. M ./Distribution/Simple/PreProcess.hs -20 +35

patch applied (cabal): Add a "cpp-options:" field and use it for pre-processing .hs .hsc .chs files

Wed Oct 17 09:47:47 PDT 2007 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Add a "cpp-options:" field and use it for pre-processing .hs .hsc .chs files This is for pre-processing Haskell modules, not for C code. We already have cc-options for that purpose. Up 'til now people have been abusing ghc-options for this purpose. Even Cabal itself was guilty of doing that.
