--- name: "dh_haskell_depends" section: "1" platform: "linux" package: "haskell-devscripts-minimal" version: "0.16.0" release: "Debian 11 (Bullseye)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/dh_haskell_depends" --- # dh\_haskell\_depends(1) calculates Haskell dependencies on Cabalized libraries ## NAME dh\_haskell\_depends - calculates Haskell dependencies on Cabalized libraries ## SYNOPSIS **dh\_haskell\_depends** \[*debhelper options*\] \[**-X***package*\] \[**--exclude=***package*\] \[*file* ...\] ## DESCRIPTION dh\_haskell\_depends is a debhelper program that helps with calculating dependencies for building Haskell libraries. It automates building libraries for the different supported Haskell systems in Debian. This script writes the debian/$package.substvars file, including in it the haskell:Depends, haskell:Recommends, haskell:Suggests and haskell:Extra-Depends variable. So, to use this package, include in the Depends: field in debian/control ${haskell:Depends}, and do the same for Recommends, Suggests and Extra-Depends. ## BUGS hugs and ghc are the only supported targets at the moment. Cabal does not yet support nhc98. ## SEE ALSO [**dh\_haskell\_provides**(1)](/dh_haskell_provides/1.md) [**dh\_haskell\_shlibdeps**(1)](/dh_haskell_shlibdeps/1.md) [**dh\_haskell\_extra\_depends**(1)](/dh_haskell_extra_depends/1.md) [**debhelper**(7)](/debhelper/7.md) ## AUTHOR John Goerzen \ Based on ideas in dh\_python by Josselin Mouette \
