[xmonad] cabal sandbox

Trying to build and run XMonad from within a cabal sandbox using the sandbox feature found in cabal HEAD doesn't manage to build the xmonad binary from xmonad.hs. I belive it's caused by the ghc calls in XMonad.Core. Did anybody else try this? This is how you can see for yourself: * install cabal-install HEAD git clone git://github.com/haskell/cabal.git cd cabal/Cabal ghc --make Setup ./Setup configure --user ./Setup build ./Setup install cd ../cabal-install ./bootstrap.sh * use cabal sandbox for xmonad and XMonadContrib cabal sandbox-init cabal sandbox-configure cabal sandbox-OTHER_COMMANDS (add source, install, etc.) The build output will be in .cabal-sandbox.
