#177: Check Include-dirs, extra-lib-dirs etc exist at configure time. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.2.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.6 | Platform: Windows ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * difficulty: normal => easy (<4 hours) * summary: Include-dirs, extra-lib-dirs with spaces doesn't work under Windows => Check Include-dirs, extra-lib-dirs etc exist at configure time. Comment: It should be easy to check at configure time if all the dirs we will need actually exist. If they do not exist it's a good indication of a mistake. Should these be warnings or errors? To help with the misunderstanding in the original example perhaps the warning message should mention that paths with spaces need to use ""s. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/177#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
