Hello Haskell-Cafe, I have created a package that requires an external library to be present on the machine. Because of that, obviously, hackage fails to build it, and subsequently fails to generate documentation. So my question is, how should I go about configuring Cabal/Setup.hs to automatize the process to allow hackage to build it properly and also simplify the package installation for the user. The packages that I'm talking about are bindings to Awesomiumhttp://awesomium.com/ : awesomium-raw http://hackage.haskell.org/package/awesomium-raw and subsequently, the higher level ones that depend on it awesomium http://hackage.haskell.org/package/awesomium awesomium-glut http://hackage.haskell.org/package/awesomium-glut Specifically, the installation process for linux is described as follows: To install Awesomium, you'll need to add the shared library to your
system's library search path. On Ubuntu, you can use the following commands:
cd awesomium_v1.6.5_sdk_linux32 sudo mkdir /usr/lib/awesomium-1.6.5 sudo cp -r build/bin/release/* /usr/lib/awesomium-1.6.5 sudo ldconfig /usr/lib/awesomium-1.6.5
So if anyone could give me some hints, or point me to package that have a similar, external-library-copying-and-registering installation process i would be grateful.
