That's fine I think. It's like you added a dependency of the main library. The user will need to install that dependency by running cabal install --only-dependencies There's a question whether he/she would have to run that in the dir of the dependency or the dir of the main lib. -- Johan _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
