Description
Definition of the LocalBuildInfo data type. This is basically the information that is gathered by the end of the configuration step which could include package information from ghc-pkg, flags the user passed to configure, and the location of tools in the PATH.

Documentation

data InstallDirs dir | Source

The directories where we will install files for packages. We have several different directories for different types of files since many systems have conventions whereby different types of files in a package are installed in different direcotries. This is particularly the case on unix style systems.

data InstallDirTemplates | Source

The installation dirctories in terms of `PathTemplate`s that contain variables. The defaults for most of the directories are relative to each other, in particular they are all relative to a single prefix. This makes it convenient for the user to override the default installation directory by only having to specify --prefix=... rather than overriding each individually. This is done by allowing $-style variables in the dirs. These are expanded by textual substituion (see `substPathTemplate`).

A few of these installation directories are split into two components, the dir and subdir. The full installation path is formed by combining the two together with `/`. The reason for this is compatability with other unix build systems which also support `--libdir` and `--datadir`. We would like users to be able to configure `--libdir=/usr/lib64` for example but because by default we want to support installing multiplve versions of packages and building the same package for multiple compilers we append the libdubdir to get: `/usr/lib64/$pkgid/$compiler`.

An additional complication is the need to support relocatable packages on systems which support such things, like Windows.

defaultInstallDirs :: CompilerFlavor -> Bool -> IO InstallDirTemplates | Source

absoluteInstallDirs :: PackageIdentifier -> PackageIdentifier -> CopyDest -> InstallDirTemplates -> InstallDirs FilePath | Source

Convert from abstract install directories to actual absolute ones by substituting for all the variables in the abstract paths, to get real absolute path.

prefixRelativeInstallDirs :: PackageIdentifier -> PackageIdentifier -> InstallDirTemplates -> InstallDirs (Maybe FilePath) | Source

Check which of the paths are relative to the installation $prefix. If any of the paths are not relative, ie they are absolute paths, then it prevents us from making a relocatable package (also known as a "prefix independent" package).

data PathTemplate | Source

An abstract path, posibly containing variables that need to be substituted for to get a real `FilePath`.
Instances

Read PathTemplate
Show PathTemplate

data PathTemplateVariable | Source

Constructors

PrefixVar | The `$prefix` path variable
BinDirVar | The `$bindir` path variable
LibDirVar | The `$libdir` path variable
LibSubdirVar | The `$libsubdir` path variable
DataDirVar | The `$datadir` path variable
DataSubdirVar | The `$datasubdir` path variable
DocDirVar | The `$docdir` path variable
PkgNameVar | The `$pkg` package name path variable
PkgVerVar | The `$version` package version path variable
PkgIdVar | The `$pkgid` package Id path variable, eg `foo-1.0`
CompilerVar | The compiler name and version, eg `ghc-6.6.1`

Instances

Eq PathTemplateVariable
Read PathTemplateVariable

toPathTemplate :: FilePath -> PathTemplate | Source

Convert a `FilePath` to a `PathTemplate` including any template vars.

fromPathTemplate :: PathTemplate -> FilePath | Source

Convert back to a path, ingoring any remaining vars

substPathTemplate :: [(PathTemplateVariable, PathTemplate)] -> PathTemplate -> PathTemplate | Source

initialPathTemplateEnv :: PackageIdentifier -> PackageIdentifier -> [(PathTemplateVariable, PathTemplate)] | Source

The initial environment has all the static stuff but no paths
