It was suggested that I should ghc --make Setup and Setup
configure/build/test but for expression given at the bottom, it fails:

[nix-shell:~/programming/haddock]$ ./Setup configure



Configuring haddock-2.16.0...
Setup: At least the following dependencies are missing:
haddock-api ==2.16.0

but nix-building the package works fine.

Expr:

[nix-shell:~/programming/haddock]$ cat default.nix
{ mkDerivation, base, Cabal, directory, filepath, haddock-api
, process, stdenv
}:
mkDerivation {
  pname = "haddock";
  version = "2.16.0";
  src = /home/shana/programming/haddock;
  isLibrary = false;
  isExecutable = true;
  buildDepends = [ base haddock-api ];
  testDepends = [ base Cabal directory filepath process ];
  preCheck = "unset GHC_PACKAGE_PATH";
  homepage = "http://www.haskell.org/haddock/";
  description = "A documentation-generation tool for Haskell libraries";
  license = stdenv.lib.licenses.bsd3;
  maintainers = with stdenv.lib.maintainers; [ fuuzetsu ];
}
