#16120: Hadrian should use cabal build-tools installed Alex and Happy if necessary -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: adamse | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 8.6.3 (Hadrian) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by snowleopard): Many thanks for checking @adamse! To me the difference in PATH settings between `new-run` and `new-exec` is surprising. Do you know about the rationale for this? If not, perhaps @hvr could clarify? I'm not suggesting to change anything, but merely want to learn a bit more about Cabal. Does switching from `new-run` to `new-exec` come with any disadvantages? I guess `new-exec` requires us to specify the path to the Hadrian executable which may be annoying. Is there anything else? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/16120#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
