Hi,

I've been trying this thing out (including the Emacs integration) and
it's working pretty well so far, but I've run into a limitation that's a
bit frustrating.

I have a multi-project setup sort of like the following:

  project/
    A/
    B/ (depends on A)
    C/ (depends on A)
    D/ (depends on B + C)

(where D is an executable "example" project)

To compile everything I've created a sandbox for the D project in
project/D/ and run all my cabal commands from there. I've added A, B,
and C via the "add-source" sandbox feature.

If I edit a file in the D project, ghc-mod works beautifully, but if I
edit anything in A, B, or C ghc-mod (understandably) cannot find the
sandbox and complains about various packages (that A, B or C depend on)
not being installed.

It there some way to make this work?

Would it help to actually create the sandbox in the project's main
directory (A, B, C, D are subdirectories) and then add them all as source?

Any help/guidance in getting this to work would be appreciated.

Regards,
