#411: Command to install dependencies of a package. ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: mornfall | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: cabal-install-0.8 Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): It's been pointed out that this is the natural thing to suggest to users when `cabal configure` fails with missing dependencies. The alternative is to tell users to do something like: {{{ $ cabal configure Resolving dependencies... Configuring foo-1.0... setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: bar >= 1.0 cabal: You can install these dependencies with: cabal install 'bar >= 1.0' }}} It would have to give the version constraints appropriately and in quotes to prevent bad things with the shell. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/411#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
