[Hackage] #262: Check for required C libraries during configure
by Hackage 18 Feb '09

#262: Check for required C libraries during configure ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- 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: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Cabal should check for required C libraries and other non-Haskell dependencies at the configure stage, rather than just waiting for the linker to fail with an obscure error message during the build stage. Error messages should be helpful for the typical Cabal user, who should not be assumed to know anything about C libraries or linking. That is not so simple. For example: The haddock package current requires the C libraries for readline, due to its dependency on the GHC API. If that library is missing, the user should have some way of figuring out how do the right thing on the given platform - for most Linux distros, install the readline-dev package (as opposed to just readline), for Mac OS X download the GNUreadline framework from the GHC website and drag it into the appropriate Frameworks folder depending on whether this is Tiger and below or Leopard and above, etc. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/262> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

patch applied (cabal-branches/cabal-1.6): Use more cc options when checking for header files and libs

Wed Feb 18 03:05:20 PST 2009 Duncan Coutts <duncan(a)haskell.org> * Use more cc options when checking for header files and libs Use -I. to simulate the search path that gets used when we tell ghc to -#include something. Also use the include dirs and cc options of dependent packages. These two changes fix about 3 packages each.

Mon Feb 16 03:52:49 NZDT 2009 hamish(a)firestream.co.uk * Add flag to disable linking in build This is usefull when you just want to find compiler errors (eg. for background compilation while editing). Only implemented for GHC (others will die with an error if linking is disabled).
