#89: Sharing of object files between executable builds? ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: bjorn@bringert.net | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.8 Component: Cabal library | Version: Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.4.2 | Platform: Linux ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): Thanks to Stephen we've got this one done finally. You can now have executables specify `build-depends` on the library in the same package. You must specify `cabal-version: >= 1.8` to use this feature. Note that the executable must not specify the same `hs-src-dirs` as the library or it'll just pick up the source files rather than using the built library. Remaining: * Add a QA check to make sure people are not specifying internal deps without using `cabal-version: >= 1.8` * Update the user guide to explain the feature and restrictions. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/89#comment:13 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
