Yes, 'extra-prog-path' also affects the PATH environment variable of the programs invoked by cabal-install: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/Cabal/Distribution/Simple/Program/Run.hs#L177 https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/Cabal/Distribution/Simple/Program/Db.hs#L344 https://github.com/haskell/cabal/blob/master/Cabal/Distribution/Simple/Configure.hs#L808 _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
