build-type: Simple praki.prakash:

Don,

Thanks for the hint. I removed Setup.hs and tried "cabal build". I get an error that build type is custom and Setup.lhs is missing. What is the magical incantation needed to do the default build?

Thanks Praki

I am trying to install Takusen 0.8.3 with ghc 6.10.1 on Ubuntu 8.04 (same issue on Win XP as well). I get the following complaint from cabal.

Module `Distribution.PackageDescription' does not export `writeHookedBuildInfo' cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: Takusen-0.8.3 failed during the configure step. The exception was: exit: ExitFailure 1

You can probably just remove the Setup.lhs and build with defaults (we're doing that at galois, we use Takusen).

I'm surprised this works, unless you also change the imports of Control.Exception to Control.OldException. The new exception module is part of the reason it's taking me a while to port to 6.10.1. Nearly there though; only the haddock failures to fix and then we can release.
