Hi, I have enabled document in .cabal/config, so I could get document every time I installed libraries or so. But when I compile my own applications, it also takes time on generating non-exist documents. How to disable it just for this project? -- 竹密岂妨流水过山高哪阻野云飞 And for G+, please use magiclouds#gmail.com.

If "cabal install": add --disable-documentation. See also "cabal install --help". If "cabal configure" and "cabal build" etc: nothing to do, just omit "cabal haddock".

So the only way is to use param every time I build this certain project? Really hoping I could disable it in project.cabal .... On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 6:45 AM, Albert Y. C. Lai wrote:

Well, it's an option for the cabal-install tool, not for the Cabal build system. Note that you don't need to use this parameter every time you build your project, only every time you configure it (so if you don't change the .cabal file much and just tend to build it as you hack on it you don't need the extra params).

The problem is, I enabled it in ~/.cabal/config file. So by default, when I install, it build the document. Sorry I used "build" term, by which I meant install.... On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 10:16 AM, Ivan Lazar Miljenovic < ivan.miljenovic@gmail.com> wrote:

How often do you install that this is a problem? If you install more without documentation, disable it in your ~/.cabal/config file, and use --enable-documentation when you actually want it.

The param is for "cabal install" only. So don't use "cabal install". cabal configure # may be skipped usually cabal build cabal copy If your project is a library (as opposed to an executable): add cabal register Why this is not controlled in project.cabal: The author of the project should not control whether users build docs or not. P.S. Ivan, --enable-documentation and --disable-documentation are not even valid flags to "cabal configure".

You could do what I do: create an alias in bash. I have in my ~/.bashrc: alias ciq='cabal install --disable-documentation --disable-library-profiling --disable-executable-profiling' The alias 'ciq' stands for 'cabal install quick' and disables things I don't need during development, but do slow down the build.

That is pretty much the way I do now. Just curious if there is another way.... On Wed, Jan 16, 2013 at 3:57 PM, Erik Hesselink wrote:
