#753: cabal configure choosing base 3 is confusing ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by duncan): Replying to [comment:2 adept]:
Perhaps "runghc Setup" could print a warning, when run interactively?
It's not trivial to detect accurately, but perhaps we can use the lack of a `--prefix` flag as an indication that a human is using it rather than a script, since any packaging/distro tool would be specifying where to install. Hmm, though perhaps GUI tools would not, they might want to use whatever the default is. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/753#comment:3 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
