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

Ah, didn't think of that, I've only ever tried if flag(buildTests) executable but then cabal complains loudly about the if statement's location. Now I can try to take this a bit further to see if I can get rid of that ugly makefile altogether. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
