Cabal: Retrieve directory in which binaries get installed
Hello cafe, I'd like to retrieve the path in which binaries get installed when I `cabal install` a package. Normally, this would be ~/.cabal/bin on my Linux, but since I share my home folder on two architectures, in ~/.cabal/config I set the user-install prefix to ~/.cabal/$arch, so binaries get installed to ~/.cabal/$arch/bin. I have the feeling that it should be rather simple to retrieve the FilePath from the Cabal API, does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance, Björn
There's getBinDir in the generated module Paths_pkgname
(dist/build/autogen/Paths_pkgname.hs).
This module is generated by "cabal configure" and can be imported
in the modules of your package.
