Hi,
Excuse me in advance if this is a trivial question, but I have been
unable to find (understand?) the answer in Cabal's documentation.
My issue is simple : I build a Cabal package named, let's say, "foo".
That package is a library (libHSfoo.a, something like that), which
exposes its Foo.Bar and Foobar modules. I wrote the cabal file, register
it, everything seems fine.
The issue comes when I try to use that package when compiling a main
program, like this :
ghc -package foo MyMain.hs [other options]
I get an error about the compiler not finding the interface files
Foobar.hi and Bar.hi, as I have "import Bar" and "import Foo.Bar" in my
"MyMain.hs" file. Of course, I could add "-l" flags to point to the
".hi" files that I used to compile my package, but I get the well-known
issue about the fact that the package's names of the interface files
(which were compiled with the "-package-name foo" option) are not the
correct ones ("Bad interface file: ../foo/Foobar.hi, Something is amiss;
requested module main:Foobar differs from name found in the interface
file foo:Foobar") ; and that solution is ugly anyway.
So far, I found some Cabal documentation talking about the import-dirs
property, but I did not manage to "make it work", I mean, my package
does not seems to "include" the interface files. I am sure, on the other
hand, that it is possible :)
Sincerely yours,
Fernand
