[Haskell-cafe] Listing native package requirements based on cabal information

[Alexander V Vershilov]

Such requirement (dependency on executable) can't be covered by the
cabal file (at least with 'simple' build type). It's possible to write
custom
setup.hs or use autotools to check such types of dependency.
AFAIK there were other examples of dependencies, that can't be covered
by existing approaches, but I can't show them from the scratch.
