Re: [Haskell-cafe] Libraries in home dir
Hi, In addition if you want to do this all or most of the time, that is there are few/no cabalised libraries you DO wish to install globally, then you can tell 'cabal' to do this all the time by editing your ~/.cabal/config file. Here is mine: repos: hackage.haskell.org:http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive cachedir: /home/USERNAME/.cabal/packages hackage-username: hackage-password: compiler: ghc user-install: True user-prefix: /home/USERNAME/install/ regards allan Dougal Stanton wrote: On Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 2:08 PM, Mauricio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I want to use a few libraries from hackage and have already download and built them.

runghc ./Setup.hs configure --user --prefix=$HOME
runghc ./Setup.hs build
runghc ./Setup.hs install
I'm afraid you would have to build again to get a correct
$TOP/dist/build/autogen/Paths_${library}.hs
If so, which options should I give to Setup.hs
(with main=defaultMain) so that the libraries
are going to be copy to that dir?
Thanks,

Sure, just write: runhaskell Setup.hs configure --user --prefix=personal/directory/where/to/install/the/package --user tells cabal to install the package in the user package-database You might want to use cabal-install [1] in order to automatize the insallation of Cabal packages. By default it uses the --user flag and copies the package files under $HOME/.cabal/. Important caveat: Make sure to also supply the --user flag when compiling other packages which depend on your library. Otherwise Cabal will only look for it in the global package-dabatase and won¡t be able to find it.

No other flags are required. By default it stores files under $HOME/.cabal and registers the packages in ghc's per-user db. So no special permissions are required. If you want to change the defaults then you can use command line flags or edit the $HOME/.cabal/config file.
