#177: Include-dirs, extra-lib-dirs with spaces doesn't work under Windows ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal | Version: 1.2.2.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.6 | Platform: Windows ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): The solution is to use "" in the field, like: {{{ include-dirs: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include", "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include\server", . extra-lib-dirs: "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include", "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\include\server" }}} because spaces or ',' are allowed as field separators. Perhaps we should reconsider this or if we cannot change due to backwards compatability we could think about a warning. For example we might check if each directory exists and in the warning message mention that directory names with spaces have to use ""s. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/177#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
