The makefiles generated by cabal don't run ranlib on libraries. This is a big problem since GHC uses the makefile generator :) I've attached a patch that fixes things. I tested it by replacing the Cabal tree in a ghc snapshot; everything seems to build ok. Pete cabal-devel-ranlib.dpatch.bz2

cabal dependencies patch

Duncan requested that I post a more up-to-date version of the dependencies based build for the upcoming Hackathon. It still needs some work, but the bright side is that it's a drop-in replacement for the current build system. I guess what still needs to be done is: * Hugs, NHC, etc. I don't rea

Re: patch applied (cabal-branches/cabal-1.2): spell nhc98-options correctly

I'd assume these patches get applied in batches (e.g., many in a single command). Is there any way these emails can reduced to one per batch, instead of one per patch? Pete On 9/6/07, Duncan Coutts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thu Sep 6 08:04:11 PDT 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > * spell nhc98-opt

dependency analysis

Hello everyone, Here's a very-very-very alpha, not-yet-for-general-use patch that enables dependencies in Cabal. Basically, all that works right now is building GHC libraries. I haven't implemented compiling executables yet. But each module is compiled one at a time, and each is scanned for the

Dependency Analysis

Hello everyone, I've been making decent progress on getting dependency analysis working. I've just about gotten libHScabal.a to build using it :) But it's starting to look like it won't be possible to simply drop in my code to the current system. So rather than try to do that, I've decided to ma

Hello everyone, A few of us have been talking about putting dependency analysis into cabal. This, I feel, is something that needs to be Done Right :) So I've put up a page in the wiki: . I want to write some code & get this workin
