#669: Allow cabal-install's package build location to be set ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Apparently some systems mount /tmp such that one cannot create and run executables. This is clearly problematic for cabal-install because it needs somewhere to build packages. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe/73517 It may be useful for cabal-install to have a config setting to specify where to do package builds (for downloaded packages). If not specified this would default to the temp dir as now. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/669 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
