cabal-install calls setup with unrecognised distpref flag

[José Pedro Magalhães]

Hello all,

Recently, while developing a package here in the group, we changed the
build-type from "Simple" to "Custom" to allow for "cabal test". The Setup.hs
simply calls defaultMainWithHooks with simpleUserHooks where runTests has
been redefined.

The problem is that this change gives me the following error when invoking
"cabal build" (after invoking "cabal configure"):
setup.exe: Unrecognised flags:
 --distpref=dist

runhaskell Setup.hs build works fine, though. This happens on a win64
machine, cabal-install version 0.5.1 using version 1.4.0.1 of the library.
On a mac there seem to be no problems, though.

Am I doing something wrong?


Thanks,
Pedro
