Hello,
recently I've cabalized my program and it brought some problems.
First of all, I made use of 'import Paths_<package name>' functionality to
get the path of installed data files. It works great, but now I can no
longer run my program in ghci because this module is auto-generated by
cabal. I tried to supply my own. This way ghci works, but my stub module
gets compiled into the binary in place of auto-generated. And things break
again. What's the best way to overcome it?
Create a file called .ghci in the directory where you run ghci and
make it contains something like this:
:set -idist/build/autogen
And another question. I'd like to make my program output it's version
string. Of course, I can hardcode it into sources, but I've already
specified one in the cabal file. Is there any way to get it back in the run
time?
It's in Paths_<package name> as the variable 'version'.
/M
That's perfectly what I was looking for, thanks a lot!
By the way, the 'version' variable doesn't mentioned in Cabal user
guide, or at least I missed it. Is it documented somewhere?
