#165: The ./configure configure hook should complain if ./configure does not exist ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: 1.2.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.4.2 | Platform: Linux ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): Certainly {{{build-type: Configure}}} should complain if ./configure cannot be found/run. Similarly, {{{defaultMainWithHooks autoconfHooks}}} should fail if {{{./configure}}} is not found, however {{{defaultMainWithHooks defaultHooks}}} is a mess because it's not actually the default but some packages use that thinking it is the default. Or if they extend defaultHooks but do not especially want to run {{{./configure}}}. So it works for them at the moment but would fail if we made that a hard error. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/165#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
