#715: glib should require gtk2hs-buildtools ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: JadeNB | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.3 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.12.2 Platform: Mac OS | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I just installed GHC 6.12.3 (it's not an option on the drop-down GHC version menu, which is why I said 6.12.2 there) and Haskell Platform on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) from source, and tried to install glib. I got: {{{ $ cabal install glib Resolving dependencies... /var/folders/9I/9Ic7OfDBGVmrCPM+NiQOAWp80Kc/-Tmp-/glib-0.11.092062/glib-0.11.0/Gtk2HsSetup.hs:25:0: warning: #warning Setup.hs is guessing the version of Cabal.

The exception was: ExitFailure 1 }}} Running {{{ $ cabal install gtk2hs-buildtools ... $ cabal install glib ... }}} works fine, so I think that it is just a missing dependency. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/715 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
