There's getBinDir in the generated module Paths_pkgname (dist/build/autogen/Paths_pkgname.hs). This module is generated by "cabal configure" and can be imported in the modules of your package. Roman * Björn Peemöller <bjp@informatik.uni-kiel.de> [2012-12-17 11:05:52+0100]
Hello cafe,
I'd like to retrieve the path in which binaries get installed when I `cabal install` a package.
Normally, this would be ~/.cabal/bin on my Linux, but since I share my home folder on two architectures, in ~/.cabal/config I set the user-install prefix to ~/.cabal/$arch, so binaries get installed to ~/.cabal/$arch/bin.
I have the feeling that it should be rather simple to retrieve the FilePath from the Cabal API, does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance, Björn
