Hi, I have a library that has some modules written as .hsc files and I want to include some executables that use those modules. Cabal doesn't seem to find the modules when it is building the executable. It complains that the module used by the executable is in a hidden package (of the same name as the package being built). Adding the package as a dependency in the executable section doesn't work since it references a library defined in the same package.
This should work since Cabal-1.14. Can you show, how exactly you added the dependency to the executable? If it does not work, you may add Hs-Source-Dirs of the library to the executable. However this means that GHC will recompile the library modules, yielding more compile time and more disk space consumption.
