I suppose it would be best to report that issue upstream, i.e. to the author of the package?

alrunner4 commented 10 years ago

I reported the issue here because the tests pass (though somewhat noisily) when installed with cabal standalone, but fail when installed with nix, which suggests to me some kind of issue with the packaging, if only test-specific. In any case, the test failure prevents the derivation from being installed.

peti commented 10 years ago

IMHO, the error message

usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
readlink: illegal option -- f

signifies that the test suite makes incorrect assumptions about the flags supported by the readlink utility. I would report that upstream.

Debilski commented 10 years ago

Getting the same readlink error messages (and additional linker warnings) when using the nixpkgs cabal on a minimal project. (Also using OS X 10.9.4) Not sure where I should start debugging, though.
