I've fixed that, and made the changes above. However, I think $(libdir) and $(bindir) should be configurable as options to ./setup configure (weren't we going to do that at one stage?).
Yes "we" were, but "we" haven't got around to it :-)
The story is now:
On Windows,
prefix | is_excutable = $(ProgramFiles)\$(PackageId) | is_library = $(ProgramFiles)\Haskell\$(PackageId)
libdir = $(prefix)\$(CompilerId) bindir = $(prefix)\bin
On Unix,
prefix = "/usr/local" libdir = $(prefix)/$(PackageId)/$(CompilerId) bindir = $(prefix)/bin
This is ok for the default prefix, but not great if you want to set prefix to /opt/pkg-1.0, for example - that's why we need to be able to set libdir independently.
Actually you have libdir = $(prefix)/lib/$(PackageId)/$(CompilerId) which is better, as the FHS forbids creativity in the names of the immediate subdirectories of /usr/local. But maybe this is something other than libdir, for which the conventional default is libdir = $(prefix)/lib You'll probably also want substitution of variables in these strings before too long.
