cross compiling zip-archive 0.3.3

[2i3r]

I'm trying to cross-compile zip-archive as a build dependency to pandoc.
I use my specially compiled ghc which produce armhf binaries, through cabal using command bellow:

cabal new-build \
    --builddir=dist/arm-linux-gnueabihf \
    --with-ghc=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ghc \
    --with-ghc-pkg=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ghc-pkg \
    --with-gcc=arm-linux-gnueabihf-clang \
    --with-ld=arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld \
    --hsc2hs-options=--cross-compile \
    --disable-shared \
    --configure-option=--host=arm-linux-gnueabihf

The build failes, right after successfully compiling the setup binary from Setup.hs, by following errors:

`./dist/arm-linux-gnueabihf/build/arm-linux/ghc-8.6.3/zip-archive-0.3.3/setup/setup: 1: ./dist/arm-linux-gnueabihf/build/arm-linux/ghc-8.6.3/zip-archive-0.3.3/setup/setup: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")`

(just for simplicity I replaced full path to zip-archive-0.3.3 by .)
no more information I can find using -v flag to cabal, however here is the full ouput: pastebin
I'm guessing the setup binary is part of build life-cycle, and it fails to run on build machine as it cross-compiled, however I don't know how to check and/or resolve this, may be manual compile and installing?!

Try it with zip-archive-0.4 which no longer has a custom Setup.hs. Faraz Maleknia <notifications@github.com> writes:

Thank you, yes, it works, and I'm sorry as I must have been check that before.
Even I saw the #51 but missed the commit.

Sorry again I'm follow this, I'm having same problem with the pandoc cross compiles.
I looked at 50595c8, which replace Custom build type to Simple. can I do the same with pandoc? any other idea?

[jgm]

Yes, you could safely change build-type to simple for pandoc and replace Setup.hs with the default stub. The custom Setup.hs is only necessary to ensure that man pages get installed. If this turns out to be the only barrier to cross compilation, I'd consider removing it, but see what happens... Faraz Maleknia <notifications@github.com> writes:

Thanks for your response. I found the @haskell/cabal #1493 which seems cabal guys has been look into this, but no progress apparently going on.
I changed the build type and it seems to start working, unless, ghc need -fexternal-interpreter to compile TH codes, now I'm working on getting iserv-proxy working on.
