#754: cabal should pass extra lib/include dirs to configure scripts ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: simonmic | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.12.3 Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ cabal install SDL-gfx with macports has always failed for me, because that package's configure script doesn't know about the required extra lib dir /opt/local/lib. This made it work: LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib cabal install SDL-gfx . cabal-install should probably use this or some other method to tell configure scripts about extra lib and include dirs. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/754 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
