Sorry if this is a stupid question, I still have a lot to learn about the cabal workflow :)
How do you make the project depend on changes you've made to the modules without cabal installing it then? I was working on the simple emacs key bindings issues from the tracker and couldn't figure out why my changes weren't working. Then I realized that obviously even though cabal is compiling my changes when I actually execute the new binary the runtime is going to look at installed modules, not the ones in my development tree. What do you do in this situation? Thanks! Andrew On May 12, 8:58 am, Jean-Philippe Bernardy <berna...@chalmers.se> wrote: > We should really remove the hacking flag.
