Re: [Haskell-cafe] Trouble building library with cabal-install 1.24

I'm trying to use cabal-install 1.24. To start fresh, I removed ~/.cabal and ~/.ghc, and then used the old cabal(-install) executable to do cabal update and cabal install cabal-install.

Unfortunately, it seems that cabal-install is building everything except my library!

$ cabal --version cabal-install version 1.24.0.0 compiled using version 1.24.0.0 of the Cabal library

$ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.10.3

$ cat cabal.project.local tests: True

program-options ghc-options: -Werror

$ cabal new-build --enable-test -v

I seem to recall that you need to explicitly mention "your-library" on the command line here.
