Re: [Haskell-cafe] Building documentation only?

That's not possible; haddock uses the ghc api so it needs to be able to load the dependencies. If the packages in question never use template haskell, you could try to install them with -fno-code -fwrite-interface. Otherwise, the next best thing is to pass -O0.

That'll build documentation for the current pwd's project (if there even is one), but that doesn't install and build the haddocks for dependencies. Well, unless you do `cabal install --only-dependencies` first, which brings us back to the original question.

I'm trying to get a local version of the documentation of all the packages I tend to use so I don't need to keep reaching out to hackage.haskell.org http://hackage.haskell.org while developing [offline]. Easily enough done; I'm just trying to skip building the code which, in this sandbox, I don't need.
