Building with c2hs and cabal

Question

I have a problem where cabal will not do dependency resolution on .chs files, that is, if A.chs depends on B.chs (or really B.chi) then cabal will not figure it out and call c2hs on the files in the correct order. I know that gtk2hs uses a custom buildscript, however it is rather complicated and specialized for gtk2hs. Is there an easier way of manually/automatically doing .chs dependency resolution (by, for instance, listing out the files in the correct order)?

Answer 1

As it turns out, cabal will process exposed-modules by the order they are listed, I guess only if there are no dependencies to consider or maybe this behavior is specific to .chs files. In order to manually resolve dependencies one can simply order the modules correctly in the cabal file.
