I hope it's just me who missed this important information. Could you please share where was it described and how people know about it?
This is a surprise to me too. What's the difference between the executable in 'dist' and the final one? What happens if I just do 'cabal build'? Is the final one not actually built?
In that case the executable is built (and placed under dist/), just not copied to the final destination (such as ~/.cabal/bin or .cabal-sandbox/bin). This is much like traditional make && make install. Roman
