redirecting cabal-install from /tmp
Hi Everyone, I am trying to get cabal-install to work on a system in which /tmp is mounted noexec. Is there any way to configure it to use another directory? I would be happy to patch the source and rebuild if need be. Thanks in advance, Chris

cabal-install gets its temporary directory via System.Directory.getTemporaryDirectory, so you can specify some other directory via the TMPDIR environment variable (TMP on windows).

Or that.

Except I think Chris wants to be able to specify a directory, since other applications would probably want to keep using /tmp for TMPDIR. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
