#63: hugs cabal incomplete

--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Two things

 1) hugs cabal does not take any notice of additional C files specified in
 the
 cabal config

 2) hugs cabal passes libraries using mingw conventions and does not
 support a
 build process using msvc. i.e. libraries passed as -lodbc

 3) I used to be able to generate the C stub for seporate compilation with
 the following command
 ffihugs -98 +G -Pbuild: +L"-D_WIN32_" +L"-Dmingw32_HOST_OS"  +L"-I./HSQL"
 +L"./ODBC/Database/HSQL/HsODBC.o" +L"odbc32.lib"
 +L"-I./ODBC/Database/HSQL" $<

 this worked fine and achieved what was desired:- generating a C file
 compiling and specifying additional link libraries and include path.
 this can be done with the new hugs like so

 ffihugs -98 $< -D_WIN32_ -Dmingw32_HOST_OS  -I./HSQL
 ./ODBC/Database/HSQL/HsODBC.o odbc32.lib -I./ODBC/Database/HSQL

 The current cabal setup for hugs does not support the
 generation/specification of such a command, so I am left with no option
 but to use a hybrid of cabal and make files ... very unsatisfactory.

 4) you should really think about linking hugs against the multithreaded
 library /MD by default many external gnu etc libraries (actually all that
 I have come accross) link against msvcrt.lib. Having two different rtl
 being called can cause problems.

Comment (by ross):

 (Multi-barrel bugs like this are a bit inconvenient to deal with.)

 1) isn't a bug: Cabal uses a different method for Hugs, as documented in
 the Cabal User's Guide.

 2) and 3) are the same thing, I think, because Cabal does pass -D and -I
 options.  The problem is libraries.
