trying to install
tabenius opened this issue · 6 comments
As a haskell newbie I'm trying to install your package:
$ runhaskell Setup.hs configure --user
Configuring SDLTemplate-1.0...
$ runhaskell Setup.hs build
Setup.hs: Maybe.fromJust: Nothing
Setup.hs:bundleAll lbi = fromJust $ lookup (FlagName "bundleall") (configConfigurationsFlags $ configFlags lbi)
Am I doing something wrong? Thank you
Cheers, Tobias
I am not sure what's happening here. Could you try running cabal configure and cabal build instead of calling the Setup.hs directly? Also, what version of cabal do you have?
I did this and it works, however the installed binary looks for the image in the wrong place for that binary. The .app in dist/build/ works great though! Shouldn't it install an .app instead?

To be honest, I never intended it to be installable. This template is supposed to create a standalone .app (or a directory with an executable and data files, that's what the bundleall flag is for) on build, and that seems to be working fine for you.
Now I'm not saying it's impossible to make the install work; maybe it's even quite easy. How important is it for you?
It's not important right now, I just wanted to understand in case I
might want it in the future and thought it was a good idea to tell you.
Thank you for your time.
Yes, it is indeed a reasonable feature. I'll leave this issue open for the time being, in case I (or anyone else) has the time to implement it. It seems that essentially one needs to somehow detect the installation, and make DynPaths_<module_name> use the existing Paths_<module_name> functionality cabal provides (which will give the path of /share folder the resources are stored in).
