I have a small project that installs a couple of Haskell tools and a script that uses these. Cabal will of course build and install the Haskell programs, but how can I get Cabal to install the script as well? There's a host of UserHooks available¹, but it'd probably be better to have an example than to try to experiment with the right configuration.
I don't have an example handy, but I think you'll want preInts, instHook, or postInst. I'd probably go with postInst unless you need data provided by instHook's type that isn't passed to preInst or postInst. LocalBuildInfo /probably/ has the details you need (eg: installDirTemplates). Don't forget to invoke the default hook as part of your re-implementation -- if you override instHook, for example, you need to invoke the instHook that *would have* happened, or no installation will take place. --Rogan
