#865: Can't use command line options containing spaces ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: bos | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.10.1.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- I found myself wanting the other day to pass some specific RTS options to GHC on the command line, with those options varying depending on the version of GHC: {{{ghc-options: --with-rtsopts="-N -qg"}}} However, Cabal doesn't tokenize command line options, and GHC doesn't treat multiple {{{--with-rtsopts}}} arguments as building up a single string, so I found myself stuck. (I know about the "specify the options in a {{{.c}}} file, and that's what I did, but it's less elegant.) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/865 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
