#574: Cabal doesn't respect ghc installation path ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: count0 | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.2 Severity: normal | Resolution: wontfix Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: The default installation is not the ghc installation directory (this was discussed some time ago with Windows Haskell users). You can set the installation directory using the `cabal install --prefix` flag and you can change the default in the cabal config file. Is there some documentation you read that could have been improved that would have prevented this misunderstanding of the default behaviour? If so lets fix it, otherwise we should close this ticket as wontfix. If you want to bring up the issue of the default installation path on windows again then please file a ticket about that issue specifically and/or bring it up on the cabal mailing list. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/574#comment:2 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
