#40: sdist runs tar, which is a problem under Windows ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: ijones | Owner: kr.angelov(a)gmail.com Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Changes (by ross(a)soi.city.ac.uk) * summary: how well does sdist work in windows? is there a better way to find 'tar'? => sdist runs tar, which is a problem under Windows Comment: It makes sense to take sdist out of the library, as it's not essential for building, and would work better with these extra dependencies. But I'm not sure about bundling everything in an all-purpose program. Small special-purpose tools have fewer dependencies and avoid many coordination issues. More of them (cabal-deb, cabal-rpm, cabal-msi, etc) can be added by third parties without looking second class. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/40#comment:6> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

Library/executables hack
by John D. Ramsdell 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

You may recall a hack I posted that allowed the executables in a package to be linked with the library defined in the package. I discovered an interesting problem with my hack, you cannot profile your code. The linker cannot find a debugging version of the library for use with the executables. I decided to make my package describe just one executable, which should be good enough for the development process. No more cabal hacks for me. John
