[Hackage] #617: bootstap.sh: post-install message doesn't make sense when using --global

#617: bootstap.sh: post-install message doesn't make sense when using --global ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: taavi | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: miscellaneous | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- When using the bootstrap.sh script with --global then the message displayed after a successful installation will look like this: {{{ The 'cabal' program has been installed in /usr/local/bin/ You should either add /usr/local/bin to your PATH or copy the cabal program to a directory that is on your PATH. }}} This is probably redundant since most users will have /usr/local/bin on their path. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/617> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

Objective-C sources
by Brian Lewis 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

I'm making bindings to a library partially written in Objective-C. If I put those sources under c-sources, I get stuff like Warning: the following files would be used as linker inputs, but linking is not being done: glfw/lib/cocoa/cocoa_enable.m ghc: no input files How can I fix this? The problem is in the "if os(darwin)" of this project: http://github.com/bsl/GLFW-b

[Hackage] #616: failure detail is missing for "Building the cabal-install package failed"
by Hackage 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

#616: failure detail is missing for "Building the cabal-install package failed" ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: markstos | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: Linux | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I just tried to bootstrap cabal 0.6.2 and it failed like this: "Building the cabal-install package failed" Because the message lacks any detail, I am forced to give up at this point. I scrolled back through the output (which the failure message didn't even hint that I should do), and I all I saw were some "warnings". I didn't see any "fatal" or error messages. The reason cabal fails may well have something to do with my environment (Ubuntu Karmic 9.10), but the bug is cabal here is that fails to provide a helpful diagnostic, stonewalling the troubleshooting process. Here's my full ./bootstrap output: ### $ sh ./bootstrap.sh Checking installed packages for ghc-6.10.4... parsec is already installed and the version is ok. network is already installed and the version is ok.

[Hackage] #615: cabal install attempts to reinstall "same version" of already-installed package
by Hackage 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

#615: cabal install attempts to reinstall "same version" of already-installed package ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ This is on ghc 6.12.1 rc2. The problem occurs because I installed a different version of ghc-syb than the one in hackage, but which retained the same version *number* as the one in hackage. Bumping up the version number of the alternate version, solved the problem, but it was confusing, and I believe I may have experienced this before without understanding what was happening. The alternate version of ghc-syb I used is at git://github.com/waern/ghc- syb.git I was working on scion to try and get it to build on ghc 6.12.1, and when I tried to cabal install it from my working directory, cabal install started to reinstall ghc-syb - even though ghc-syb was already installed, with the same version number as the version it was trying to reinstall. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/615> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
