Re: Bad interface file error with GHC RC2

4 Oct 2006


      Building with -package-name comlib-0.1 helps. I saw that Cabal from
HEAD is passing the full package id to GHC but the version compiled in
ghc-6.5.20061001 is passing just the package name. Maybe the change
wasn't merged in GHC-6.6 branch or the bundle wasn't build from the
actual sources.

Cheers,

Did it work with earlier RCs?
It was working with a version slightly older than RC1. Definitely with
a version without the advanced packages support.

Does comlib get wired into the compiler at all? I had a similar problem
with base, where the compiler had the package name wired in:
   compiler/main/PackageConfig.hs:
   basePackageId      = fsToPackageId FSLIT("base")
but cabal was building it with
   -package-name base-2.0
To solve it I put
   -package-name base
in ghc-options in the cabal file.
Thanks

I am sure comlib isn't wired into the compiler. Perhaps there is a
problem with Cabal somewhere. I will try to put custom -package-name
option. If that works I will take a look into Cabal.
