You are absolutely right, they do not seem to play along very well.
Here's what I tried:
$ cabal install --disable-library-vanilla --enable-shared ranges
Resolving dependencies...
Configuring ranges-0.2.4...
Preprocessing library ranges-0.2.4...
Building ranges-0.2.4...
[1 of 1] Compiling Data.Ran
Apparently, disabling library vanilla causes GHC not to generate the ".hi"
files :
For instance when 'cabal install quickcheck --disable-library-vanilla':
Registering QuickCheck-2.4.1.1...
cabal: QuickCheck-2.4.1.1: file Test/QuickCheck/All.hi is missing (use
--force
to override)
QuickCheck-2.4.1.
Hello,
When I tell cabal-install to build shared libraries (with "Shared: True" in
.cabal/config), it doubles the libraries installation time since it
compiles them twice, since it seems that is what GHC's flag "-shared" does.
Is there a way to generate only the .so and not the the .a libs?
