#3739: ghc-cabal mishandles relative paths in arguments -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: asuffield | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: low | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: Build | Version: System | Keywords: Resolution: invalid | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: | Related Tickets: None/Unknown | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by thomie): * status: new => closed * difficulty: => Unknown * resolution: => invalid Comment: `ghc-cabal` is currently only used when [wiki:Building/Architecture/Idiom/Cabal building] ghc (maybe that was different 5 years ago?), and ghc builds just fine, so I think we can close this issue. Also note that ghc's dependency on Cabal is planned to be removed altogether (#8244). The cabal user problem of `--package-db` not handling relative paths was fixed in https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/1307. See [https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/1542 cabal #1542], [https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/462 cabal #462] for related cabal issues. Please re-open if I'm misunderstanding the problem here. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3739#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
