Hello Volker, Compilation will, indeed, succeed. However, distribution won't: if the module is not listed in `Other-Modules` (or any of the other sections), it won't be included in the tarball generated when you invoke `cabal sdist`, i.e., the source archive uploaded to Hackage. Hence, if someone then tries to download and build your package from Hackage, this will fail, since some module source files are missing. There may be other effects of not listing some module, though above is the one I'm aware of. Cheers, Nicolas On Fri, 2022-09-16 at 10:47 +0200, Volker Wysk wrote:
Hi
The cabal user guide says (in section 6.2.12): "Every module in the package must be listed in one of other-modules, library:exposed-modules or executable:main-is fields."
However, I only get a warning message, when I comment out the other- modules field in my .cabal file. The program compiles. This is the message:
<no location info>: warning: [-Wmissing-home-modules] These modules are needed for compilation but not listed in your .cabal file's other-modules: Hsskripte Sicherung SicherungAktionen Text Wahl Zeit
Is it really necessary to specify all the imported modules? If so, why does the program compile? Can that warning message be turned off?
Apart from that, I'm happy with cabal. :-)
