#328: cabal-install passing --distpref to Setup.hs compiled with older Cabal lib

Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: cabal-install tool | Version: HEAD
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2
Platform: |
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Recently, while developing a package here in the group, we changed the
build-type from "Simple" to "Custom" to allow for "cabal test". The
Setup.hs simply calls defaultMainWithHooks with simpleUserHooks where
runTests has been redefined.
The problem is that this change gives me the following error when invoking
"cabal build" (after invoking "cabal configure"):
{{{
setup.exe: Unrecognised flags:
--distpref=dist
}}}
runhaskell Setup.hs build works fine, though. This happens on a win64
machine, cabal-install version 0.5.1 using version 1.4.0.1 of the library.
On a mac there seem to be no problems, though.
