The Cabal user's guide says:
By default, Cabal will first try to satisfy dependencies with the
default flag value and then, if that is not possible, with the negated
value.
Does this not hold for the extra-libraries? In a cabal file I have
Flag docs-only
default: False
Library
if ! flag(docs-only)
extra-libraries: ole32 oleaut32
The command
% cabal configure -fdocs-only
completes successfully, while simple
% cabal configure
fails due to the unmet dependencies. Why doesn't Cabal flip the flag
when it can't find those libraries?
