#532: Can't find libraries on Windows (Cabal 1.6.0.2) ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Windows | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- When trying to install the com-1.2.2 package from the Hackage tarball, configure reports that it cannot find the header file "include/WideStringSrc.h", which is part of the com-1.2.2 source, and is clearly there; and that it cannot find the libraries "kernel32", "user32", etc which are standard system libraries (the corresponding .lib files are part of the Platform SDK), even after giving it the library paths in every possible way (environment variable, command line option, modifying the "com.cabal" file). The former problem was mysteriously eliminated by some random modification of the .cabal file (namely, rearranging the order of the includes). The OS is Windows XP (servicepack 2). Everything works fine with Cabal 1.6.0.1. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/532 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
