[Haskell-cafe] Re: ghc: unrecognised flags: -I

[Lyndon Maydwell]

I found the problem.

I had an empty entry for extra library includes in my cabal
configuration. Once I commented this out things started working again.
I think that cabal should probably not include a lone -I in this case
though. Is there somewhere I can file a bug?

Thanks guys.
