problemw with the -I flag to ghc are causing cabal install to fail for hdbc-odbc (darcs head). man ghc still reports that -I is a valid flag after installing ghc 6.7 from darcs head a couple days ago. I think the problem might be the space after the -I flag (which is bad for both 6.6.1 and 6.7) hartthoma@linuxpt:~/installs/HDBC-odbc-head/hdbc-odbc>/usr/local/bin/ghc-6.7.20070816 -I. -e '' Setup.hs hartthoma@linuxpt:~/installs/HDBC-odbc-head/hdbc-odbc>/usr/local/bin/ghc-6.7.20070816 -I/ -e '' Setup.hs hartthoma@linuxpt:~/installs/HDBC-odbc-head/hdbc-odbc>/usr/local/bin/ghc-6.7.20070816 -I / -e '' Setup.hs ghc-6.7.20070816: unrecognised flags: -I just a guess... anothing thing is it seems like there's a new INCLUDE pragma in 6.7. perhaps this should be used in one of the source files to get it to compile. but which one? I couldn't figure out what was causing ghc -c -I dist/build/Database/HDBC/ODBC/Connection_hsc_make.c -o dist/build/Database/HDBC/ODBC/Connection_hsc_make.o to be run. (I did try grepping on ghc but no luck, below.) Any tips on debugging this cabal install would be appreciated. thanks, thomas ************* $ runghc Setup.hs configure; runghc Setup.hs build ..... configure: Using tar found on system at: /bin/tar Reading parameters from /home/hartthoma/installs/HDBC-odbc-head/hdbc-odbc/HDBC-odbc.buildinfo Preprocessing library HDBC-odbc-1.1.2hartthoma@linuxpt:~/installs/HDBC-odbc-head/hdbc-odbc>darcs whatsnew.0... ghc-6.7.20070816: unrecognised flags: -I Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option. compiling dist/build/Database/HDBC/ODBC/Connection_hsc_make.c failed command was: ghc -c -I dist/build/Database/HDBC/ODBC/Connection_hsc_make.c -o dist/build/Database/HDBC/ODBC/Connection_hsc_make.o ........ hartthoma@linuxpt:~/installs/HDBC-odbc-head/hdbc-odbc>darcs whatsnew { hunk ./Setup.hs 8 -main = defaultMainWithHooks defaultUserHooks{preConf = conf, postConf = ok} - where ok _ _ _ _ = return ExitSuccess +--main = defaultMainWithHooks defaultUserHooks{preConf = conf, postConf = ok} +-- where ok _ _ _ _ = return ExitSuccess +main = do + let ok _ _ _ _ = do return ExitSuccess + return () + in defaultMainWithHooks defaultUserHooks{preConf = conf, postConf = ok} + return () + } ..... hartthoma@linuxpt:~/installs/HDBC-odbc-head/hdbc-odbc>grep -i ghc * HDBC-odbc.buildinfo:ghc-prof-options: HDBC-odbc.buildinfo:ghc-options: HDBC-odbc.cabal:GHC-Options: -O2 Makefile:GHCPARMS := -fglasgow-exts Makefile:all: setup # GHC build Makefile: ghc -package Cabal Setup.hs -o setup Makefile: cd testsrc && ghc --make -package mtl -package HUnit -package MissingH -package HDBC -lodbc $(GHCPARMS) -o runtests -i../dist/build:.. ../d\ ist/build/hdbc-odbc-helper.o runtests.hs Makefile:test-ghc6: testsrc/runtests Makefile:interact-ghci: all Makefile: ghci -idist/build -Ldist/build $(GHCPARMS) Makefile:test: test-ghc6 test-hugs README.txt:You'll need either GHC 6.4.1 or above, or Hugs 2005xx or above.
