It would be nice if (a) all necessary tools were checked and reported
in configure and
I agree - Ian, could you move the configuration stuff that we do in the
Makefile into the configure script? (configure can always call 'make
config' or something if you want to leave the tests in the Makefile).
(b) ghc build and cabal would work together (if ghc's
build can't handle tools where cabal installs them, it needs to
install its
own copies or at least report the issues during configure).
It's not practical in general to cope with spaces in paths in the build
system. IIRC we tried to get this right once and gave up. So again, Claus
is right and we should check for this in the configure script.
Cheers,
Simon
