#216: need a way to specify the foreign libraries a package depends on ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: ross@soi.city.ac.uk | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: major | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * milestone: Cabal-1.6 => _|_ Comment: I think the native package conversion tools should be doing this reverse dependency lookup, matching headers, C libs or build tools that packages need to native packages. It does not scale to ask package authors to know what native package name and version is needed on each different system (in particular they would have no way to test it). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/216#comment:10 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
