The relevant packages are:

Haddock errors: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/894 network xhtml opengl openal alut

xhtml is fixed. The others (plus GLUT, I think) are a Cabal problem.

To elaborate, when cpphs is called from the haddock phase, it's not passed the cpp arguments that are used by build. I think Cabal needs a cpp-options field, for cpp options needed for Haskell source. They're currently in cc-options or compiler-specific option fields, but they don't really belong there.

Yes, Lennart Kolmodin was just investigating this problem for Gentoo and came to a similar conclusion. We can't pass all the cc-options to hsc2hs or cpphs, we'd have to filter them which seems a bit ugly. The other ugly option is to add these flags to ghc-options. Anyone got a suggestion for what to do in the short term (ie the 1 week 'til the ghc & cabal release) ? Duncan
