#624: "cabal haddock" should not break my build
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: AntoineLatter | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion:
Platform: |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
See GHC bug 3799: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3799
With the package "syb-with-class" executing "cabal haddock" regenerates
the .hi files and most of the .o files. It doesn't, however regenerate
HSsyb-with-class.6.1.0.o.
Since syb-with-class exports top-level declarations generated by template
haskell, they have a different name every time we compile.
So my (regenerated) .hi files exports names not in my .o file. If this
happens during a "cabal install" we package up haddock's .hi files with
the previously built HSsyb-with-class.6.1.0.o.
I'm not sure if this is a Cabal bug or a haddock bug (or a GHC bug?).
Either way I thought I'd post it here so people are aware of it.
The work around is to turn off the auto-haddock option.
