Paths_*.hs and sdist

From haskell cafe: (I tried to reply through gmane but it might have not worked) > http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2008-July/010078.html > I can't think of any other workaround for 1.2 so I think you'll have to > require Cabal-1.4 for your package. With the above "workaround" and Cabal 1.4 I get: dhcp-192-157:yi-stable bernardy$ cabal sdist Building source dist for yi-0.4.6.2... Preprocessing library yi-0.4.6.2... cabal: can't find source for Paths_yi in ., dist/src/yi-0.4.6.2/dist/build/autogen What's the recommended solution? Thanks, -- JP

patch applied (cabal): In "Setup makefile", don't build the vanilla way if it's disabled

[Hackage] #350: cabal should check for duplicate module names

#350: cabal should check for duplicate module names ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- If I write a list like: {{{other-modules: Foo.Bar.Quux, Foo.Bar.Blat, Foo.Bar.Quux}}} in my {{{.cabal}}} file, {{{setup configure}}} will happily accept it. But then when I build, GHC will give me an error message like: {{{ <no location info>: module `blat:Foo.Bar.Quux' is defined in multiple files: Foo/Bar/Quux.hs Foo/Bar/Quux.hs }}} which is very confusing! Can Cabal check for duplicates in the exposed- modules and other-modules lists? -Tim -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/350> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

darcs patch: pass -B flag to help gcc find libraries ... (and 1 more)
by Duncan Coutts 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

This is an update on the previous patch so if you tried that one you'll need to unrecord it and apply this instead. This time it should actually pass the gcc flags through to hsc2hs properly (hopefully). Again, completely untested beyond it compiling. Duncan Wed Aug 27 13:44:36 BST 2008 dias(a)eecs.harvard.edu * pass -B flag to help gcc find libraries on Windows Thu Sep 11 16:04:48 BST 2008 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Yet another attempt at gcc -B on Windows Simpler this time and hopefully fixing the problem in the last version.
