Distribution.Make
Description
This is an alternative build system that delegates everything to the make
program. All the commands just end up calling make with appropriate
arguments. The intention was to allow preexisting packages that used
makefiles to be wrapped into Cabal packages. In practice essentially all
such packages were converted over to the "Simple" build system instead.
Consequently this module is not used much and it certainly only sees cursory
maintenance and no testing. Perhaps at some point we should stop pretending
that it works.
Uses the parsed command-line from Distribution.Simple.Setup in order to build Haskell tools using a back-end build system based on make. Obviously we assume that there is a configure script, and that after the ConfigCmd has been run, there is a Makefile. Further assumptions:
- ConfigCmd
- We assume the configure script accepts
--with-hc,--with-hc-pkg,--prefix,--bindir,--libdir,--libexecdir,--datadir. - BuildCmd
- We assume that the default Makefile target will build everything.
- InstallCmd
- We assume there is an
installtarget. Note that we assume that this does *not* register the package! - CopyCmd
- We assume there is a
copytarget, and a variable$(destdir). Thecopytarget should probably just invokemake installrecursively (e.g.$(MAKE) install prefix=$(destdir)/$(prefix) bindir=$(destdir)/$(bindir). The reason we can't invokemake installdirectly here is that we don't know the value of$(prefix). - SDistCmd
- We assume there is a
disttarget. - RegisterCmd
- We assume there is a
registertarget and a variable$(user). - UnregisterCmd
- We assume there is an
unregistertarget. - HaddockCmd
- We assume there is a
docsordoctarget.

Indicates the license under which a package's source code is released.
Versions of the licenses not listed here will be rejected by Hackage and
cause cabal check to issue a warning.

A Version represents the version of a software entity.
An instance of Eq is provided, which implements exact equality
modulo reordering of the tags in the versionTags field.
An instance of Ord is also provided, which gives lexicographic
ordering on the versionBranch fields (i.e. 2.1 > 2.0, 1.2.3 > 1.2.2,
etc.). This is expected to be sufficient for many uses, but note that
you may need to use a more specific ordering for your versioning
scheme. For example, some versioning schemes may include pre-releases
which have tags "pre1", "pre2", and so on, and these would need to
be taken into account when determining ordering. In some cases, date
ordering may be more appropriate, so the application would have to
look for date tags in the versionTags field and compare those.
The bottom line is, don't always assume that compare and other Ord
operations are the right thing for every Version.
Similarly, concrete representations of versions may differ. One
possible concrete representation is provided (see showVersion and
parseVersion), but depending on the application a different concrete
representation may be more appropriate.
