#24: Cabal shouldn't try to build GHCI libs on platforms without GHCI ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: jgoerzen(a)complete.org | Owner: ijones Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: Cabal | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: hard Ghcversion: 6.2.1 | Platform: Linux ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * ghcversion: => 6.2.1 * milestone: Cabal-1.2 => Cabal-1.4 * platform: => Linux Comment: ghc-6.8 has a flag that tells us various features about the ghc installation. I think that the ghci support is one of these things. So we could support this feature in ghc-6.8 and later. If we do this, should we drop the existing --disable-library-for-ghci flag? We could keep it if we tried the {{{ghc -e "return ()"}}} suggestion. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/24> Hackage <http://example.com/> My example project

Let me clarify. Earlier releases were preceded by release candidates before the .0 release. However, we changed it this time so that .0 basically is the release candidate and .1 will then be the first stable release. Therefore, we decided to post only to the developer mailing lists, so that the first release to the wider public (1.2.1) will, hopefully, have most issues resolved. / Thomas
