#865: Can't use command line options containing spaces ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: bos | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.10.1.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: worksforme Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => worksforme Comment: You can use options containing spaces in a .cabal file. You just have to quote the entire option: {{{ ghc-options: "--with-rtsopts=-N -qg" }}} The whole thing will be passed as a single option. The " will not be passed. This escaping (using Haskell String syntax) is documented in the user guide. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/865#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
