The signature of withTempFile has changed in cabal HEAD[1] and thereby breaks Setup.lhs. Previously: withTempFile tmpDir template action Currently: withTempFile keepTempFiles tmpDir template action keepTempFiles is a Bool. I didn't submit a patch because I'm not sure how to keep Setup.lhs compatible with old cabal versions. [1] https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/c3a5b96ac

Fixable with ifdefs? For history purposes, I assume tuncer.ayaz means what will become Cabal 1.18. tuncer.ayaz: does the ifdef hint help at all?

I don't think there's any symbol defined we can ifdef based on. I commented on the github commit: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/c3a5b96ac#commitcomment-2592366

At the end of the day, the signature for `withTempFIle` didn't change: <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Cabal-1.18.1.2/docs/Distribution-Simple-Utils.html#v:withTempFile> I'll take the liberty of closing this issue, hope you don't mind.
