Re: [Haskell-cafe] Best practice for embedding files in a GHC-compiled tool?

Op 7-feb-2008, om 13:53 heeft Dave Bayer het volgende geschreven:

Under this extreme hypothesis, how do I embed a compressed tar file into a single file command line tool written in Haskell and compiled by GHC?

Hack up a shell script or a small Haskell program to automatically generate a Haskell file of the form:

module TarFile where

import Data.ByteString as B

myTarFile = B.pack [<tar file as list of Word8s here>]

You could also do that using Template Haskell, as you already hinted, but this sounds less like rocket science :-) Reinier
