And who bootstraps the searchpath? --S On Thu, May 29, 2008 at 4:50 PM, Darrin Thompson wrote:

I've been playing a lot with searchpath lately, for doing happs "quickstart" installation as described on happs.org.

Searchpath works great when it works, which usually means -- when the module map file is up to date and pointing everywhere to the right place.

When the module map file is out of date though, the error messages for missing dependencies that you would get from searchpath are not as good as the error messages you'd get from a cabal configure.

Makes me wonder if searchpath and a good module map file wouldn't be a good way to bootstrap cabal-install.
