[Haskell-cafe] Compiling non-registered packages into a sandbox?

[David Banas]

Hi all,

How do I compile a non-Hackage registered package into a local sandbox?

Let’s say I have:

/proj_dir/

  - .cabal-sandbox/

  - cabal.sandbox.config

  - dep_pkg/

     - dep_pkg.cabal

     - Setup.lhs

     - …

I’d like to compile the dep_pkg package into my proj_dir sandbox; can I do this, if dep_pkg is NOT registered with Hackage?

If so, how?

Thanks,

-db

Doesn't a simple 'cabal install dep_pkg/' when in 'proj_dir' work?

Additionally, you can do 'cabal sandbox add-source dep_pkg/', which
will make it available to be installed as a dependency automatically
(and reinstall when it's changed).

Erik
