#646: cabal-install does not install data-files ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: StefanK | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Linux | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Installing a package with {{{ cabal clean cabal configure --user --prefix="${HOME}/opt" cabal build cabal install }}} does not copy the data-files listed in the project.cabal file to the desired destination. It does not copy them anywhere at all. I would expect them to end below something like {{{/home/sk/opt/share/project-0.1}}}, as is reported by function {{{Paths_project.getDataFileName}}}. I'll attach a toy project demonstrating this. System: {{{ sk@watarrka:~> ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.1 sk@watarrka:~> cabal --version cabal-install version 0.8.0 using version 1.8.0.2 of the Cabal library }}} -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/646 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
