#445: Simple builds ignore .buildinfo ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: awick | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: wontfix Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Note that a related feature that I do want to implement is to allow, for development purposes only, a local per-package config file #556. This would let you save any/all flags that you can pass to `cabal configure`. For things like ghc-options, cc-options, this might be enough for what you need. Note as an additional workaround, if you really want to read .buildinfo files then you can modify the Setup.hs to do so: {{{ main = defaultMainWithHooks autoconfUserHooks { postConf = \_ _ _ _ -> return () } }}} This means it will not try to run any `./configure` script but it will read the `.buildinfo` file. However I'm going to keep the Simple build type simple and not have it read externally generated `.buildinfo` files. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/445#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
