#12462: Cannot add directories with colon to include path -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ezyang | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- {{{ ezyang@sabre:~$ ls f:g A.hi A.hs A.o ezyang@sabre:~$ ghc-8.0 --make A -if:g <no location info>: error: module ‘A’ is a package module ezyang@sabre:~$ ghc-8.0 --make A -if\:g <no location info>: error: module ‘A’ is a package module ezyang@sabre:~$ ghc-8.0 --make A -if\\:g <no location info>: error: module ‘A’ is a package module }}} The problem is that the colon is interpreted as a path separator.\ Of course, colons break everything forever, so you shouldn't use them. But it is still a bit unsatisfactory. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12462 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
