Hello,

I have some code with several test cases that use HUnit. I added hunit as one of my cabal dependencies but cabal complained with:

Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: hutil -any

What am I doing incorrectly?

Would you mind posting your .cabal file too?

The reson I'm asking is that I've so far _never_ put any information about unit tests or quickcheck tests in my .cabal file, simply because I don't want the executables to be picked up by automatic package converters such as cabal2arch. Instead I have a makefile for building my test programs.

If you have some way of keeping information about building of tests in your .cabal I'd be very interested in seeing it.

I define and use Cabal flag buildTests and use Executable test If flag(buildTests) Build-Depends: HUnit Else Buildable: False
