btw, my cabal file contain line:
Build-Depends: base, Win32, template-haskell
if i correctly understand, this will not work on unix systems, while without Win32 package program can't be compiled on my windows box. what i can do here? only provide two separate cabal files - one for unix, one for windows and give to user text instructions about manual renaming of appropriate file?
One workaround: your Setup.lhs could distinguish the OS using System.Info, and then invoke the right .cabal file.
i done this, think that this script may be very useful for other programmers not familiar with Cabal: #!/usr/bin/runhaskell import qualified System.Info import Data.List import System.IO import Distribution.Simple import Distribution.PackageDescription main = do let isWindows = "mingw" `isPrefixOf` System.Info.os cabal = if isWindows then "Streams.cabal.win32" else "Streams.cabal" defaultMainNoRead =<< readPackageDescription cabal may be it can be done better? (more reliable windows detection, more compatible with various cabal versions) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
