Hello,
Cabal allows specifying arguments for tools it recognizes on the command line, e.g.
runhaskell Setup.hs configure --c2hs-option=some_option
Unfortunately, I can't find a way to make this work with .cabal (or .buildinfo) files, except for the specific cases of ghc, hugs, and nhc98 options. Am I missing something?
No.
If not, could this be added easily?
Yes, but it's not clear that we should.
It would be very helpful as I'm trying to work around the broken cpp Apple provides.
Perhaps we should do the workaround once rather than adding the workaround to every package. What is the problem exactly? Duncan
