#165: The ./configure configure hook should complain if ./configure does not exist ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: 1.2.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.4.2 Platform: Linux | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ We often have problems with people not running auto(re)conf before Setup configure, and things breaking later on. The hook that runs ./configure should fail if ./configure doesn't exist; it probably shouldn't give any suggestion on how to create it, as people will blindly follow the suggestion and one size probably won't fit all. This essentially depends on the proposals to split up hooks into smaller, composable parts.
