However, what I missed is that the hsc2hs target files are placed alongside the source, not in the dist directory. I had been building zlib on x86 using the hs generated on an amd64 machine. The offsets in the structures were wrong.
Ohh, nasty.
How difficult would it be to have Cabal store the target files in the 'dist' directory with everything else? This also makes revision control a little more challenging, because I have to hand-pick a few select .hs files to ignore, since the rest of my code is sitting right next to them.
That would be good. I don't suppose it's too hard, after all we put other generated modules in dist (the paths module). We then just have to add more -i search dirs. I'd be happy to review cabal patches along these lines. [ On the plus side, I'm glad it wasn't a bug in my zlib binding :-) ] Duncan
