hat incorrectly sets ghc's package.conf

[mvitocruz@…]

(oops, accidentally hit "Return" before I could type in the description...) The summary is my best guess for the source of the problem that I'm having while trying to compile a program with ghc and hmake with hat tracing enabled. The error I'm getting is (this is from invoking "hmake -hat myprogram"):

Hat/Utils.hs:15:0:

Failed to load interface for `Hat.PreludeBasic':

Could not find module `Hat.PreludeBasic':

locations searched:

Hat/PreludeBasic.hi Hat/PreludeBasic.hi-boot /opt/local/var/db/dports/build/file._Volumes_Scratch_software_darwinports_dports_devel_hat/

work/destroot/opt/local/lib/ghc-6.4/imports/hat/Hat/PreludeBasic.hi

If I edit package.conf so that things point to the right directory, the build is able to get past this point but then encounters more errors (this probably won't be helpful but they look like:

Hat/Language.hs:1491:45:

Can't find interface-file declaration for aisDigit

Probable cause: bug in .hi-boot file, or inconsistent .hi file Use -ddump-if-trace to get an idea of which file caused the error

In the fourth argument of Hat.Hat.uapp1', namely aisDigit' In the third argument of `Hat.Hat.cguard', namely

`(Hat.Hat.uapp1 p285v17v285v25 p285v17v285v23 p aisDigit hisDigit fc)'

...)

I'll take a look at it. The new packaging system for ghc is a real pain.

I have rebuilt hat with the latest ghc-6.4.1 and I am able to successfully run hat on the examples in the online tutorial.

If no one complains in the next few days, I will close this bug.

hat works for me under 6.4.1 and no one has complained, so I am closing this bug.
