#817: "main-is" misparsed in if/else, only by sdist ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: jeffwheeler | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.10.0.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- An if/else block which sets the main-is value for an executable based on a flag is misparsed when running "cabal sdist" (it's parsed correctly when running "cabal install"). Upon failure, it appears that it's looking for a filename that is the two main-is options concatenated together. E.g., I get the error "cabal: HackerMain.hsMain.hs doesn't exist". The problematic bit looks like: if flag(hacking) main-is: HackerMain.hs else main-is: Main.hs My entire config can be found on hpaste: http://hpaste.org/44939/yicabal (problematic lines around 268). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/817 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
