Hiya
It turned out that my issue was to do with the data files. When compiling
locally, cabal puts the files in /home/alan/.cabal/share and the compiled
application expects to find the files there. So when I deploy my binary I
have to also put some files into /home/alan/.cabal/share which feels wrong.
Alternatives to me seemed to be to set up cabal on my dev pc to install
globally rather than user-based, but that also feels a bit wrong. Sandboxes
looks like they might be useful but I've been having all kinds of problems
with getting vmware tools installed on a sufficiently new version of Ubuntu
to get a more up to cabal.
So I guess the real question behind the question is .. how best to set up
your dev environment when developing in Haskell so you don't end up with
problems like this one where you have data files compiled into some obscure
place.

Hi
I have created an application using cabal that now installs fine and runs
fine on my dev machine.
I now want to deploy this application onto a separate server. This is not a
webapp.
Try as I might, Google will not point me in the direction of how to do this,
apart from loads of links to Keter which is not what I want (there is no
nginx or any other web server involved).
Any advice on the neatest way to do this?
Hi,
Can't you build a static binary and deploy it? (something like this --

open-vm-tools{,-desktop} doesn't work? I've been using it in Mint. (In
general, the "official" vmware tools don't keep up with open source OSes
very well.)

If you list the data files in Cabal's "data-files" field, and you use
Cabal to build on the server, then you can ask Cabal where it put those
files at runtime:
