Sounds good. Thanks! Go ahead and apply it. > It's also arguable that we should pass all cc options and ld options > using --cflag= and --lflag= . This is what the build system for Gtk2Hs does. Do you think this will ever cause a problem? Maybe sending C flags to hsc2hs which were just meant for other parts of the build? If not, I'd say go for it. peace, isaac _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org//mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
