I am working on a new package to be released on Hackage (grammar-combinators, release not yet announced). It compiles fine on my system (debian testing, special purpose test user with a pristine ~/.cabal), but the Hackage build log shows the below error message (full version on http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/grammar-combinators/0.1/logs/fai...).
Unfortunately Hackage uses a somewhat braindead build environment (I forget the exact details) and so you sometimes get spurious build errors like this. If it compiles fine on your system it is probably OK. If you want to be absolutely sure that your library will build properly for other people I recommend using Capri [1].
Thanks a lot. The package compiles fine with Capri, so I'm glad it's a Hackage-specific problem. However, it seems that the library's haddock documentation is not getting built because of the Hackage compile problem. Does anyone know if there is any way I could get Hackage to ignore the compile problem and just build the haddock documentation? Thanks Dominique
