Setting those vars shouldn't be *required*. Try to follow steps in HACKING.md (i.e. compile a Setup script manually and run './Setup [configure --enable tests | build | test]'). > The first four are obvious and easy, but I have no idea how to set the last one. It should look approx. like this: 'CABAL_PACKAGETESTS_DB_STACK=clear:global:/path/to/.cabal-sandbox/x86_64-linux-ghc-7.8.4-packages.conf.d'. This assumes that you installed the version of Cabal you're testing into a sandbox under '/path/to/.cabal-sandbox'. _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
