#85: Force Cabal use in-place Hugs when buiding from source --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: nobody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: hugs | Version: current Keywords: | --------------------+------------------------------------------------------- I have been experimenting with building Hugs from a source tarball on a computer with no Haskell stuff preinstalled at all. I noticed that the build fails when running Setup configure for any package because Cabal cannot find Hugs executable. OTOH, if there is Hugs installed earlier (on the PATH), output from Setup configure shows that the previously installed Hugs is used, not one just built. This can be easily fixed if proper --with-hugs command line argument is provided to Setup. This affects two files: libraries/Makefile.in and libraries/tools/convert_libraries. Also, if any package installed has configure script invoking runhugs, this would fail too because in-place runhugs is not on the path. This is fixed by exporting proper PATH variable from the convert_libraries script before running Setup configure. Proposed patch is attached. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hugs/ticket/85 Hugs http://www.haskell.org/hugs/ Hugs 98, an interpreter for Haskell
