#842: cabal appears to complain about relative paths ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: jeffz | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.10.1.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ With `cabal configure --extra-lib-dirs=foo` $ cabal build Preprocessing library HENet-0.0.1... Building HENet-0.0.1... Registering HENet-0.0.1... cabal.exe: HENet-0.0.1: library-dirs: .libs is a relative path (use --force to override) Originally reported on irc: <dcoutts> jeffz: the right solution here would be for cabal to make the paths absolute before passing them on to ghc-pkg -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/842 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
