I've been unable to figure out how to build Cabal with Hugs 2006.09.04:
$ runhugs -98 Setup configure --hugs --prefix=/usr
runhugs: Error occurred
ERROR "./Distribution/Compat/ReadP.hs":70 - Syntax error in module definition (unexpected selector "#if")
The README file is GHC-centric, so I'm at a bit of a dead end. Do you have any suggestions?
