#469: Support relocatable packages ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: very hard (<1 week) Ghcversion: | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): Note that the mechanism to support relocatable packages can and should also be used to let us run programs from the build tree and still enable them to find their data files in the build tree. The use of environment variables in the current `Paths_pkgname` module already allow this use, at least on Unix. We just need to take advantage of it by generating wrapper scripts. This would also be nice for supporting running programs with runhaskell (eg for hugs or ghc). -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/469#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
