Hi all,
When creating a cabal package that contains module that import Paths_<mybraryname> (as tutored in http://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/latest/doc/users-guide/authors.html#pat...), haddock complains that it cannot find such module, since it is generated automatically by cabal:
$ runhaskell Setup.lhs haddock ... Setup.lhs: can't find source for module Paths_GHood
How do I tell haddock to ignore such module? Should this be handled in the Setup.lhs file? I am using the default Simple file.
The bug is that these auto-generated modules are not generated as part of the haddock command. The workaround is to build first. The ticket is: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/396 It should be a simple fix for a new Cabal hacker. Now is a good chance to get involved! :-) Duncan
