To elaborate, when cpphs is called from the haddock phase, it's not passed the cpp arguments that are used by build. I think Cabal needs a cpp-options field, for cpp options needed for Haskell source. They're currently in cc-options or compiler-specific option fields, but they don't really belong there.
Yes, Lennart Kolmodin was just investigating this problem for Gentoo and came to a similar conclusion.
We can't pass all the cc-options to hsc2hs or cpphs, we'd have to filter them which seems a bit ugly. The other ugly option is to add these flags to ghc-options.
Anyone got a suggestion for what to do in the short term (ie the 1 week 'til the ghc & cabal release) ?
I've got a nice 1 line fix. We've tested it now with all the ghc-extralibs in gentoo. The fix will be included in the next Cabal release candidate. Duncan
