#256: Copying files during installation is oblivious to ~ ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: very easy (<1 hour) | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- I tried to install a cabal package into my home directory using {{{--prefix=~/local}}}. Cabal does not expand this to my home directory. This is very confusing, as all the files wind up in a directory called ~. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/256 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
