You can do this without Setup.hs. Just
Have fun reading the documentation of cabal ;-)
Basically, doing this boils down to
- patch Setup.hs to use autoconfUserHooks; as hs-postgresql-libpq
already uses userHooks, you'll have to merge them somehow (I don't
know the proper function for this, but I hope it's documented in
the Cabal library documentation)
- create a simple postgresql-libpq.buildinfo.in file with
extra-libraries: @krblibs@
this should be done in the ports pre-configure target
- create a minmal configure script that substitutes the output of
krb5-config for @krblibs@ in the above written file and write the
output to postgresql-libpq.buildinfo
It may also be possible to skip postgresql-libpq.buildinfo.in and
just create a proper postgresql-libpq.buildinfo file with the proper
extra-libraries tag, but I guess you still will need some dommy
configure script.
I also wonder if it wouldn't be better to go e step further and use
pg_config instead of krb5-config. That one could be submitted to
upstream.
