I'm trying to build and install Takusen 0.8.2 with a new .cabal and Setup, using Cabal-1.4.0.0. The Setup program writes out an updated Takusen.buildinfo (below) from the postConf hook. However, the library-dirs and include-dirs fields are not included in the package description when installed.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
I cannot reproduce this problem. It works fine for me. I made a dummy takusen.cabal: name: takusen version: 0 build-type: Configure library -- nothing here and your takusen.buildinfo

I assume you did actually have the above line properly indented. With it as it is you get a parse error when reading in the buildinfo file.
includes: install-includes: include-dirs: "C:\\Program Files\\sqlite3\\" C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/8.1/include C:/PROGRA~1/POSTGR~1/8.1/include/server C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\oci\include hs-source-dirs: . other-modules: Database.InternalEnumerator ghc-prof-options: -prof -auto-all ghc-shared-options: -prof -auto-all ghc-options: hugs-options: nhc98-options: jhc-options:
Then I do $ cabal configure $ cabal register --gen-pkg-config and looking at the takusen-0.conf the library-dirs and include-dirs contain all the dirs given in takusen.buildinfo. This is obviously on Windows. On linux it would not work since C:\etc are not absolute paths on unix but they are on Windows. So I'll need more precise details on how to reproduce the problem. Is there a darcs repo I should use? What commands should I use exactly? Duncan
