#517: make cabal install command support haddock options ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by danfish): Replying to [comment:6 David]:
Can you post more detail on your workaround?
Before building Cabal (or GHC), just open Distribution.Simple.Setup.hs in a text editor, go down to defaultHscolourFlags, change hscolourCSS from !NoFlag to Flag "~/.cabal/hscolour.css". Go down a little further, in defaultHaddockFlags, change haddockHscolour to Flag True, haddockHscolourCss to Flag "~/.cabal...", haddockInternal/Executables to Flag True if you want that. If you do it when you build GHC, that's all, build and don't worry again (until you get some package on which hscolour chokes). If your GHC is already built, bump the version number in Cabal.cabal, run cabal install in that directory and then cabal install --reinstall cabal-install to get your changes into cabal. It's evil, but I wanted source-links bad enough to not care :) -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/517#comment:7 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
