## 4. Known bugs and deficiencies

All these should be fixed in future versions:

- In the simple build infrastructure, the `sdist` command does not work.

- The scheme described in Section 2.2, “System-dependent parameters” will not work on Windows without MSYS or Cygwin.

- Cabal has some limitations both running under Hugs and building packages for it:

  - Cabal does not work with the current stable release (Nov 2003), just the development version.

  - It doesn't work with Windows.

  - The `--user` option is unavailable.

  - There is no `hugs-pkg` tool.

- Though the library runs under Nhc98, it cannot build packages for Nhc98.

Please report any other flaws to `<libraries@haskell.org>`.
