Does cabal support precompiled packages?
You can construct a pre-compiled packages from a Cabal package (using an external tool like cabal2rpm). The cabal command line tool has no support for installing such things. Normally one makes native pre-compiled packages like .deb, .rpm, .msi etc and then uses the native system for actually installing them. Duncan
