[Hackage] #731: Custom Build-type with --package-db and --global encounters runtime error

#731: Custom Build-type with --package-db and --global encounters runtime error ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: cygnus | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.4 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.12.2 Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ To reproduce: * Run `cabal init`, change `Build-type` to `Custom` (`Setup.hs` already provided by `cabal init`) * Run `ghc-pkg init db` * Run `cabal configure --package-db=./db --global` * Output: {{{ Resolving dependencies... cabal: internal error: unexpected package db stack }}} In `cabal-install-0.8.2`, this appears to be caused by the code on lines 112-114 of `Distribution.Client.Configure`: {{{ usePackageDB = if UserPackageDB `elem` packageDBs then packageDBs else packageDBs ++ [UserPackageDB] }}} in combination with the code on lines 297-306 of `Distribution.Client.SetupWrapper`: {{{ ghcPackageDbOptions :: PackageDBStack -> [String] ghcPackageDbOptions dbstack = case dbstack of (GlobalPackageDB:UserPackageDB:dbs) -> concatMap specific dbs (GlobalPackageDB:dbs) -> "-no-user-package-conf" : concatMap specific dbs _ -> ierror where specific (SpecificPackageDB db) = [ "-package-conf", db ] specific _ = ierror ierror = error "internal error: unexpected package db stack" }}} Essentially, the order of the package databases in the stack is not as expected since the list already contains a `SpecificPackageDB` when the `UserPackageDB` is appended.

#896: cabal install cabal-install fails if gcc not in /Developer/usr/bin/gcc ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: jeremyw.sherman | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Mac OS | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Under Mac OS X, `cabal` assumes `gcc` is at `/Developer/usr/bin/gcc`. This fails when Xcode is installed to another directory. Xcode has supported installing to an arbitrary folder since at least Xcode 3.x. This is particularly common among iOS developers, as they frequently require multiple parallel Xcode installs. Since Xcode installs gcc to both `$DEVELOPER/usr/bin/gcc` and `/usr/bin/gcc`, this could be fixed by using `/usr/bin/gcc` directly or the result of a search in `$PATH` for `gcc`. The user workaround for now is to symlink `/Xcode_4_2` (or whatever the user's latest Xcode install directory is) to `/Developer`. (Apple is moving from `gcc` to `clang`, anyway. Apple's `gcc` has been frozen at an ancient version for some time now.) Sample session exhibiting this bug: {{{ $ cabal install cabal-install Resolving dependencies... Configuring cabal-install-0.10.2... ghc: could not execute: /Developer/usr/bin/gcc cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: cabal-install-0.10.2 failed during the configure step.

I'm sick of running "cabal build" and not noticing until much later that my test had a compile error because I'd neglected to reconfigure with "--enable-test". A similar issue happens with packages with custom flags, say sometimes I lose the "-f-library" flag I sometimes use for faster compilation. I wish I had a mechanism to remember the command line flags passed in for a particular package. Editing my global config doesn't seem quite like what I'm looking for; it has to be something that works, eg. with different branches of the same package. What might be better for me is something like the Darcs prefs system, where I could edit a file in the current working directory like ".cabal" that says something like {{{ configure --enable-test -f-library install -fgui }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/910> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
