X11-1.3.0 won't build on OSX 10.4 without altering X11.cabal to point to /usr/X11R6/lib

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. untar X11-1.3.0
2. 'runghc Setup.hs configure --without-xinerama', configure correctly
finds X libs in /usr/X11R6/lib
3. 'runghc Setup.hs build' fails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expected that the build would succeed, but it fails because it no longer
knows where to pick up the X libs.  BTW, Cabal also issues a warning about
build-type being an unknown field.

% runghc Setup.hs build
Setup.hs: Warning: Unknown field 'build-type'
Preprocessing library X11-1.3.0...
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lX11
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
linking Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o failed
command was: /opt/local/bin/ghc-6.6.1 -lX11 Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o
-o Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make
Setup.hs: got error code while preprocessing: Graphics.X11.Types

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

X11-1.3.0.tar.gz on an Intel Macbook running OSX 10.4.  GHC is ver 6.6.1
and Cabal is 1.1.6.2.

Please provide any additional information below.

If I add the line 'extra-lib-dirs:  /usr/X11R6/lib' to the bottom of
X11.cabal, the build will succeed and I can install fine.  But I'm not sure
why I should have to do this since Cabal had correctly figured out where my
X libs were during the configure step.

If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue
with 'Component-Contrib' below.

Try setting your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/X11R6/lib.

Setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is another workaround, but workarounds shouldn't be
necessary.  During the configure step, Cabal figures out where the X includes 
and
libraries are located, but then proceeds to forget the lib location during the 
build.

% runghc Setup.hs configure
...

What is the contents of your .bulidinfo file?

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

can you also try the darcs version, as I've pushed some patches that attempt to
substitute into the .buildinfo file extra variables I noticed weren't being 
used.

    darcs get http://darcs.haskell.org/X11

The X11.buildinfo contains:

-- System-dependent values used by Distribution.Simple.defaultUserHooks

Just tried the darcs version.

1.  autoreconf
2.  runhaskell Setup.hs configure --without-xinerama
3.  runhaskell Setup.hs build

Can you build and install a newer version of cabal (which will resolve the 
build-type
error, and hopefully also get the paths right in the first place).

    http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Cabal-1.2.2.0

Thanks for your persistence. If you can reproduce this problem with darcs X11 
and
latest Cabal, then we can really proceed to squash it.

Hurray, it works!  Thanks for a great product in xmonad and for such quick 
support.

BTW, one change that people need to know about is that the configure command no
longer accepts the '--without-xinerama' option -- instead it seems to figure 
out what
to do on its own, which is much nicer imho.
