Hi,
I am trying to build a self-contained package-db that is independent of the
global package-db.
I am using ghc-7.8.4 and cabal-1.22.0.0. I create an empty package-db in
package-db and type the following:
cabal-1.22.0.0 install --package-db=clear --package-db=package-db
bytestring-0.10.4.1
but I get
cabal-1.22.0.0: With current ghc versions the global package db is
always used
and must be listed first. This ghc limitation may be lifted in future,
see
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5977
5977 was fixed 3 years ago -- should the error message be updated?
I am told that cabal allows building without the global package db, but how?
Cheers,
Chris
