Sure, I can do that, but then I get: $ cabal install --disable-library-profiling Resolving dependencies... Configuring foo-1.0... cabal: The field 'build-depends: foo' refers to a library which is defined within the same package. To use this feature the package must specify at least 'cabal-version: >= 1.8'. Failed to install foo-1.0 cabal: Error: some packages failed to install: foo-1.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1 Maybe I could try with cabal-version >= 1.8, but this doesn't seem like it should be necessary. I wouldn't need this build-depends: foo if A were just A.hs, right? So it seems odd (from a user's standpoint) that I need it when it is A.hsc. On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 1:01 PM, Henning Thielemann < lemming@henning-thielemann.de> wrote:

This should work since Cabal-1.14. Can you show, how exactly you added
the dependency to the executable?
I included the two source files, A.hsc and B.hs, and the cabal file in my last email. That shows how I add the dependency in the executable section. I have those three files in a single directory.
Your Cabal file does not contain a dependency in the library for the executable. It would look like this:
executable B main-is: B.hs build-depends: foo
