I'm putting together a package consisting of 2 executables. Only one of

found the âif os(...)â conditional in the CABAL docs but I'm having
problems getting it to do what I want.
if os(mingw32)
executable foo
...
Results in the error âSection expectedâ. Swapping the two lines like this
executable foo
if os(mingw32)
...
results in âSetup.hs: Error: No 'Main-Is' field found for executable fooâ.
It sounds like another instance of the case that parts of a package cannot
be build under some circumstances. Keep in mind that other packages might
rely on the installed second executable if they find that the package is
installed. Thus, I guess it's better to extract the second executable to a
different package for Window's only stuff._______________________________________________
