#328: cabal-install passing --distpref to Setup.hs compiled with older Cabal lib ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.4 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by dreixel): Replying to [comment:4 duncan]:
I found the problem. We were using the default flags for build (and other commands) rather than an empty set of flags.
The fix will be in cabal-install 0.5.2
Good. Since I now had 6.8.3, I rolled back to 6.8.2 and reinstalled Cabal and cabal-install to reproduce the problem (from the releases). But actually I wasn't being able to reproduce it, so I started wondering if I had done something weird before. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/328#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
