#245: Cabal gets paths wrong in INCLUDEs ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- The Pugs project recently uncovered a bit of a problem with GHC 6.8.x. To quote: - {-# INCLUDE -} seems to require either a very relative or an absolute path. That is, you have to make the path listed inside an INCLUDE ('dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot_hsc.h') in the file dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot.hs absolute or completely relative - that is, the first line needs to look like either '{-# INCLUDE "Parrot_hsc.h" #-}' or '{-# INCLUDE "/home/gwern/bin/pugs/dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot_hsc.h" #-}'. The particular problem is that 'dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot_hsc.c:#include "Parrot_hsc.h"' is being translated to the (broken) 'dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot.hs:{-# INCLUDE "dist/build/Pugs/Embed/Parrot_hsc.h" #-}'. The relevant files and notes can be found in the Pugs SVN repo, in src/Pugs/Embed/, and the files of interest are Haskell.hs Parrot.hsc Parrot_hsc.c Parrot_hsc.h Perl5.hs Pugs.hs -- gwern -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/245 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
