#177: Check Include-dirs, extra-lib-dirs etc exist at configure time. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.2.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.6 | Platform: Windows ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Actually it's not clear that we should warn, and it certainly should not be an error. Packages sometimes have to specify include dirs that exist on one machine and not another. What is important is not if the dirs exist or not, but if the include files and libraries can be found by searching them. This would make it harder to detect when someone has accidentally left out "" around a path containing a space. Hmm. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/177#comment:5 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
