#424: build-depends in global section in new-style .cabal files are ignored ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- http://hpaste.org/12669 In a .cabal file like: {{{ name: music version: 0.0 cabal-version: >= 1.2 build-type: Simple build-depends: base == 4 library exposed-modules: Music }}} which uses new-style syntax but puts the build-depends in the global section, the build-depends get ignored. It should either warn or reject this, or it should automatically propagate such global options into each buildable component. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/424 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
