I am having a bit of trouble builing local packages.

I have three libraries, A, B, and C, that I want to make into local packages. A and B depend only on base, while C depends on base, A, and B.

The souces gets built with

ghc --make -package-name=A {list of files} ghc --make -package-name=B {list of files} ghc --make -package-name=C {list of files}

and I create the archives libHS[A,B,C].a This all works fine.

I have three simple .pkg. If I add the dependencies into package-deps, then ghc-pkg says that the dependencies do not exist. If I leave that blank, then I can create my local .conf file.

I can't tell what the problem is from this description. Are the dependencies between your packages, or on other packages? It will help if you send us the .conf files, and cut-n-paste the exact command lines and the errors GHC produces. Cheers, Simon
