[darcs-devel] [issue2268] darcs 2.8 does not build from cabal on Mac OS X

[Robert Goldman]

Robert Goldman <rpgoldman at sift.info> added the comment:

OK: here's why: the .cabal/config file that the Haskell Platform writes 
for you has Profiling: True in it.

For some reason (I don't know why), it is not able to build mtl with 
profiling on.  So it fails.  I found this StackOverflow question that 
led me to turn off profiling, and then darcs builds successfully:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8954566/cannot-install-yesod-haskell-
web-framework-on-mac-osx

Suggestion: add this to the FAQ about building darcs, since it's really 
obscure.
