[Haskell-cafe] why is ghci trying to load hsc file ??

[briand at aracnet.com]

Howdy,

I worked out a small hdf5 binding using cabal and bindings-DSL and
sqlite3 as my example.

Time to try it !

ghci -idist/build/ dist/build/Bindings/HDF5.o -lhdf5 -lhdf5_hl
hdf5_pkg_test.hs


GHCi, version 6.12.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

src/Bindings/HDF5.hsc:49:8: parse error on input `import'
Failed, modules loaded: none.


Huh ?  Why is it trying to read HDF5.hsc ??  What's even more
interesting is that line 49 of that file doesn't have an import on it,
so something is fubar.

No idea how this could be happening.  I've included a copy of my cabal
file.

BTW. I have to specify the hdf5 libraries, i.e. libhdf5 and libhdf5_hl
on the command line. It seems like the build process should have taken
care of that in some way, maybe... ?  Certainly when I use something
like sqlite3, I'm not specifying libsqlite3 on the command line.

Thanks,

Brian
