I just recently applied a patch here to support ghc-6.8, sent in by a contributor. There's two issues, one is building Cabal with ghc-6.8, and the other is using a recent Cabal version to work with ghc-6.8 at runtime. The generated paths module has to compile with the target compiler, including older ghc and hugs, nhc etc. Duncan _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
