Re: cabal-install and executable dependencies

John Lato-2 wrote

This requested feature seems to overlap with the build-tools section, however I don't think cabal will attempt to auto-install executables listed there.

I think build-depends and build-tools should be kept separate, but maybe if an executable listed in build-tools isn't found, cabal could look for a package with the same name on hackage and attempt to install that first?

I'd forgotten about build-tools. Does it actually do anything? -- View this message in context: http://haskell.1045720.n5.nabble.com/cabal-install-and-executable-dependenci... Sent from the Haskell - Libraries mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
