Hello
I released Streams library version 0.1e. Changes are:
- Fixed bug: "openFD name WriteMode" don't truncated files on unixes * Full library now released under BSD3 license, thanks to John Goerzen + Now cabalized, thanks to Jeremy Shaw
Download: http://freearc.narod.ru/Streams.tar.gz Docs: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Library/Streams
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?
This brings up a feature I have sometimes wanted from Cabal. I'd like to be able to say the following: "Cabal, find and use package X if it exists. Furthermore, when CPPing source code, set a #define HAS_PACKAGE_X so I can do conditional compilation based on the (non-) avaliablility of package X". Is this possible? Difficult? It seems like a nice way to handle a number of problems, including platform- dependencies (as here) and optional features with external dependencies.
