darcs patch: Implement CLI flag --root-cmd for 'cabal install' as in #202 (+ 1 more)
by Andrea Vezzosi 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Wed Mar 5 23:02:31 CET 2008 Andrea Vezzosi <sanzhiyan(a)gmail.com> * Implement CLI flag --root-cmd for 'cabal install' as in #202 It also adds the internal flag --only so we can avoid building a setup when build-type == Simple. This second patch (which is needed for the first) is for cabal: Wed Mar 5 22:44:43 CET 2008 Andrea Vezzosi <sanzhiyan(a)gmail.com> * Extend setupWrapper with setupWrapperEx so it can use an external program to gain privileges. This is needed to implement --root-cmd in cabal install.

[Hackage] #256: Copying files during installation is oblivious to ~

#256: Copying files during installation is oblivious to ~ ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- I tried to install a cabal package into my home directory using {{{--prefix=~/local}}}. Cabal does not expand this to my home directory. This is very confusing, as all the files wind up in a directory called ~. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/256> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects

Re: [Hackage] #148: Cabal should be able to produce DLLs in Windows

#148: Cabal should be able to produce DLLs in Windows ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: eivuokko | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: project(> week) Ghcversion: 6.4.2 | Platform: Windows ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * difficulty: hard (< 1 day) => project(> week) Comment: What is a dll really? It's not an executable and it is not a library, at least not the thing that cabal calls a library. It's actually a hybrid concept. It's statically linked (at least the way we do it now), linking in the rts and all the dependent haskell packages. So in that respect it's just like an executable. Obviously it exports more than just main, it exports all the ffi exported C functions (right?). How are the exports specified? Are they just the ffi exports? We don't really need a manually written .def file do we? So is this concept something we can and want to support in Cabal? Does it have any cross-platform meaning at all? If it's a different class of target from executables and libs then I think we should support it as such and not try and cram it into one of the existing templates. Something like: {{{ name: foo version: 1.0 foreign_dynamic_library build-depends: bar other-modules: Foo }}} Though obviously with a more sensible name for the thing than `foreign_dynamic_library`. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/148#comment:3> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
