#890: Base library build fails with detailed build reporting ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: batterseapower | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Resolution: invalid Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by duncan): It would be nice however to be able to specify external packages that custom Setup.hs depends on, and when adding that feature we could also add a way to stick setup src files in a subdir. That ought to fix the immediate problem. As you say, there's bigger issues for compiling base separately from the ghc build process. It would be nice though, e.g. for creating new sets of libs for cross-compilation. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/890#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
