cabal question / feature request
Dear all. is there a way to get the preprocessed sources of a project from Cabal? Is this what "Setup copy" is for? (I guess not.) If I do "runhaskell Setup.hs sdist", I get a tarball with the original sources (macros not expanded). If I do "runhaskell Setup.hs haddock" it seems the preprocessed sources are built - but then deleted, so I only get what haddock makes of them (and this I don't like - I need more control over haddock options, so I need to run it outside cabal.) Can I get the desired effect by doing Setup configure for hugs and then Setup install? (Would this install preprocessed sources?) -- -- Johannes Waldmann -- Tel/Fax (0341) 3076 6479/80 -- ---- http://www.imn.htwk-leipzig.de/~waldmann/ -------

setup configure --hugs setup build will leave preprocessed sources in dist/build, but these are will be just for Hugs and your build environment.

What do you really want to do with these sources? Maybe a hook of some kind is the better way? peace, isaac
