I ultimately found what I was looking for, but i'm wondering if there's a better source of documentation for it. There are variables strewn around the build system that look like: libraries/time_dist-install_EXTRA_HC_OPTS += -fno-warn-unused-do-bind Or, sometimes more generally, $1_$2_CONFIGURE_OPTS += --enable-shared By looking at the last bit of these variables I'm able to configure my package correctly and so it's al very good (and i can define these in my mk/build.mk). But is there a listing of ALL of the suffixes that are available here (CONFIGURE_OPTS, CC_OPTS, HC_OPTS, etc) ? On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 1:04 PM, Tyler Pirtle <teeler@gmail.com> wrote:
My toolchain is a little silly. ;)
It doesn't have ncurses in the obvious place, so by the time my build gets around to doing libraries/terminfo, the terminfo configure bails because it can't find the curses headers.
I can work around this, by building the library manually, but is there an easy way for me to get a hold of specific cabal options when calling specific packages during build?
"inplace/bin/ghc-cabal" configure --with-ghc="/home/teeler/Downloads/ghc-7.0.2/inplace/bin/dummy-ghc" --with-ghc-pkg="/home/teeler/Downloads/ghc-7.0.2/inplace/bin/ghc-pkg" --with-gcc="/some/weird/bin/gcc" --configure-option=--with-cc="/some/weird/bin/gcc" --enable-library-for-ghci --configure-option=CFLAGS=" -fno-stack-protector " --configure-option=LDFLAGS=" " --configure-option=CPPFLAGS=" " -- dist-install libraries/terminfo
I need to add some extra options to the configure command here.
