Distribution.Simple.InstallDirs
Description
This manages everything to do with where files get installed (though does
not get involved with actually doing any installation). It provides an
InstallDirs type which is a set of directories for where to install
things. It also handles the fact that we use templates in these install
dirs. For example most install dirs are relative to some $prefix and by
changing the prefix all other dirs still end up changed appropriately. So it
provides a PathTemplate type and functions for substituting for these
templates.

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.

type InstallDirTemplates = InstallDirs PathTemplate Source
The installation directories in terms of PathTemplates 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 $-style variables in the dirs.
These are expanded by textual substituion (see substPathTemplate).
A few of these installation directories are split into two components, the
dir and subdir. The full installation path is formed by combining the two
together with /. The reason for this is compatibility with other unix
build systems which also support --libdir and --datadir. We would like
users to be able to configure --libdir=/usr/lib64 for example but
because by default we want to support installing multiple versions of
packages and building the same package for multiple compilers we append the
libsubdir to get: /usr/lib64/$pkgid/$compiler.
An additional complication is the need to support relocatable packages on systems which support such things, like Windows.
defaultInstallDirs :: CompilerFlavor -> Bool -> Bool -> IO InstallDirTemplates Source
combineInstallDirs :: (a -> b -> c) -> InstallDirs a -> InstallDirs b -> InstallDirs c Source
absoluteInstallDirs :: PackageIdentifier -> CompilerId -> CopyDest -> Platform -> InstallDirs PathTemplate -> 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.
The location prefix for the copy command.

prefixRelativeInstallDirs :: PackageIdentifier -> CompilerId -> Platform -> 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).
substituteInstallDirTemplates :: PathTemplateEnv -> InstallDirTemplates -> InstallDirTemplates Source
Substitute the install dir templates into each other.
To prevent cyclic substitutions, only some variables are allowed in particular dir templates. If out of scope vars are present, they are not substituted for. Checking for any remaining unsubstituted vars can be done as a subsequent operation.
The reason it is done this way is so that in prefixRelativeInstallDirs we
can replace prefix with the PrefixVar and get resulting
PathTemplates that still have the PrefixVar in them. Doing this makes it
each to check which paths are relative to the $prefix.
data PathTemplate Source
An abstract path, posibly containing variables that need to be
substituted for to get a real FilePath.

type PathTemplateEnv = [(PathTemplateVariable, PathTemplate)] Source
toPathTemplate :: FilePath -> PathTemplate Source
Convert a FilePath to a PathTemplate including any template vars.

Convert back to a path, any remaining vars are included
