Hi Cabal hackers,
For c2hs we've run into a problem. See the thread about c2hs on window over on the haskell list.
c2hs wants to install a data file (actually a .hs source file) and wants to know where it's been installed so that c2hs --copy-library can find and copy said file.
So how do we do this? At the moment c2hs's Setup.hs calls a postInst script which installs a wrapper script (much like all the little ghc wrapper scripts which specifies the path where things can be found). Of course this doesn't work on Windows.
I recall some talk about making this sort of thing easier? Where did we get with that?
Ah, I think I can answer my own question. There is a "data-files" field one can add to the cabal file and the recent Paths_${projname}.hs thing allows us to find the data files at runtime. So I'll go try to hack that into c2hs so it'll work on win32. Duncan
