The build artefacts of new-* are placed in a "dist-newstyle" directory. Another common mistake with 1.24.0.0 is that `cabal new-build` won't do much at all if run in some parent directory. You might need to `cabal new-build ./my-blog/` and then get the artefacts somewhere (burried) in ./my-blog/dist-newstyle/... (I believe there is some improvement regarding behaviour in the parent directory in master already; certainly was planned.) Hope that helps. -- lennart On 16/09/16 13:40, Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan wrote:
I have a fairly simple hakyll based blog website that I usually build with cabal sandbox.
Today I tried the new-configure/new-build commands. It built a bunch of dependencies but the dist/build directory is empty. It doesn't look like it built the project itself. Subsequent builds are fast as expected. But I still don't see anything in dist/build directory. Am I missing something or doing something silly? Not sure if this is the right list to discuss "user" issues as this is a "devel" list.
I created a new project with `cabal init' and built it with the new style commands and it produced an executable in the expected place.
The cabal-install/Cabal version I am running is 1.24.0.0 (for both) with GHC 8.0.1 on Debian GNU/Linux x86-64.
Thanks
