#306: can't figure out how to use data-files ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: claus | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: HEAD Severity: normal | Resolution: duplicate Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.9 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by claus): Thanks, that works! But since `Paths_p` was generated behind my back, it seems odd that I have to list it myself, especially since a non-empty `data-files` field makes no sense at all without it (no dependency chasing needed for this one). I'd suggest to (a) mention this in the user guide and (b) add `Paths_package` implicitly if the cabal file has `data-files` (not much sense giving an error message if the fix is uniquely determined). Btw, having `--prefix` not apply to all dirs is very counter-intuitive. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/306#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
