#536: c2hs needs to be given include dirs of dependent packages ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.8 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) | Ghcversion: Platform: | ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Currently for c2hs we pass include dirs of the package itself. However for hsc2hs we also pass the include dirs of dependent packages. This is important because packages like base, rts etc have some special include dirs that we need. Especially on Windows where the mingw header files are in a special location that's recorded in the package info for base or rts. This is needed for portably binding to things in the mingw Windows header files, but also for generic posix things that happen to be defined in the mingw header files. It should not be too hard. Much of the code can be shared with the existing code for hsc2hs. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/536 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
