#504: executables with a C main function ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Changes (by jcpetruzza): * cc: jcpetruzza@… (added) Comment: I believe the lack of this feature makes SDL-based applications currently unbuildable on OS X. On OS X, SDL.h "renames" (using a macro) the "main" function to "_SDL_main"; the latter is then called from a "main" function defined in libSDLmain.a (with which every SDL-based program has to be linked). For this to work with Haskell, the workaround suggested in the SDL package is to use a C wrapper which includes SDL.h and defines a "main" function that calls, via the FFI, the entry-point of the haskell application. Notice that the workaround suggested in the ticket description does not work in this case, since the "main" function defined in the haskell wrapper would collide with the one in libSDLmain.a when linked. Observe also, that for this feature to work in a mixed Haskell/C setting like the one described, the .c program cannot be compiled first (as I think is the case with declared c-files), since it will need to #include the stubs generated from processing FFI export declarations. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/504#comment:3> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

Ticket #811. This fixes a problem where Cabal would fail to detect the "type" field of a test suite when the test suite contained a conditional. Conditionals can now be used, with the restriction that the "type" field and the appropriate "main-is" or "test-module" field must be specified together in any conditional branch where they occur.
