cabal

I maintain an open-source framework that uses CircleCI for continuous integration. I've recently hit a wall where the project suddenly refused to build in rather strange circumstances. Build 27 was the last one that succeeded. After that, I made some minor changes to dependencies and noticed that the build fails. I've tried to fix it without success, so I reverted back to last working configuration and it still failed . The reason for failure are two dependencies, both being bindings to native C libraries: OpenGL ( OpenGLRaw ) and GLFW ( bindings-glfw ). They error out in link stage with

When reinstalling a package using Cabal, one usually sees this warning: Warning: Note that reinstalls are always dangerous. Continuing anyway... What are some of the reasons behind this message? Currently, reinstalling a package means destructively overwriting an already installed package. If that old package has any reverse dependencies on the system, they'll no longer work. To make this less likely, cabal-install checks the package databases it has access to when invoked for such reverse dependencies and lists them. In this situation, it requires --force-reinstalls to continue. But even if

I'm trying to install network and old-time with cabal-install. When I try to install either it fails with: setup.exe: The package has a './configure' script. This requires a Unix compatibility toolchain such as MinGW+MSYS or Cygwin. I do have MinGW, in fact it's the MinGW distributed along with GHC. I've also added the bin folder to my PATH. How can I fix this? what tool is the one actually running the configure files? maybe I need to get it? GHC 7.10.1 x64 cabal-install version 1.22.0.0 using version 1.22.0.0 of the Cabal library. And I'm actually on a Windows 10 pro insider preview build

I have a machine that doesn't have internet access at all. I installed the Haskell Platform on it using the installer which I got from another machine through a pendrive. Now I want to install the package repa on my home machine which has no internet access. How should I do that? My home machine is running Linux (Debian) and my office machine is Windows 7. From a machine you can access the internet you can either: Run cabal get pkg-name where pkg-name is the package you want. Go to the package's page on Hackage and on the Downloads section there's a .tar.gz file you can download. After you get

I try to install the jmacro package. It builds perfectly, and there are absolutely no issues. However, when I want to use it or install packages like happstack-jmacro , which depend on jmacro, I get error messages like this: <command line>: cannot satisfy -package-id jmacro-0.5.2-71bd40707d94b0e8eb6e70515ff6a5f4: jmacro-0.5.2-71bd40707d94b0e8eb6e70515ff6a5f4 is unusable due to missing or recursive dependencies: haskell-src-meta-0.5-4bf46b12fb313927e18a04de209944de template-haskell-2.5.0.0-f0b857ddb066aae09d974e610edd228f (use -v for more information) There are absolutely no recursive or
