#240: setup install does not preserve MacOS X resource forks ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: _|_ Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: invalid Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: Mac OS ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by kowey): * status: new => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: I claim that my diagnosis of this problem as being related to resource forks was completely bogus. The real problem is that in MacOS X, my graphical application needs to be stored in an application bundle, so instead of calling foo I need to call foo.app/Contents/MacOS/foo This leads to some hoops which makes it impossible to just cabal install foo, but at least they are simpler hoops -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/240#comment:4 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
