I'm sure this will be an easy question for those on this list. What do you need to add to a Cabal package description so as to allow an executable in the description to be built from the library it also describes? I searched the Cabal documentation many times, but came up empty handed.

Name: a Version: 1.0 Build-Depends: base Exposed-Modules: A

Executable: b Main-Is: Main.hs Other-Modules: A Hs-Source-Dirs: exec

I think the problem here is search paths. Try adding . to the Hs-Source-Dirs, or alternatively moving everything into the root dir rather than under exec. This smells like a bug in cabal to me. Duncan
