#379: compiler directive of cabal-install's config file is case sensitive ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: phigley | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: Mac OS ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Fixed with a bit of a hack: {{{ Fri Jan 16 00:28:51 GMT 2009 Duncan Coutts * Parse compiler field from old config files correctly Really old versions of cabal-install generated a default config containing "compiler: GHC". Sadly the new way we generate the config file parser from the command line parser means we end up with a case-sensitive parser as it only matches the exact command line flags. So we hack it and add in a traditional parser for that field only. Really the command line and config file infrastructure needs rewriting again. Sigh. }}} -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/379#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
