[Haskell-cafe] Cabal or stack in 2021 ?

[Alexis Praga]

Speaking about a build script, FreeBSD has one for xmonad (see below,
located in /usr/local/share/examples/xmonad/build).

8<------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh

# must match "executable" line from xmonad-config.cabal
EXE_NAME=xmonad-config

# xmonad tells us how it want resulting executable to be named
output_file=$1; shift

CFG_DIR="$HOME/.xmonad"

if [ ! -f "$HOME/.cabal/config" ]; then
cabal new-update
fi

# build the config
cd $CFG_DIR
cabal new-configure --enable-optimization --enable-executable-stripping
cabal new-build

if [ "$output_file" != "" ]; then
# move resulting binary where it was requested to reside
res=`find $CFG_DIR/dist-newstyle -type f -perm +111 -name $EXE_NAME`
if [ "$res" == "" ]; then
    return 1
fi
# use "mv" to be able to replace a running executable
mv -f "$res" "$output_file"
cp "$output_file" "$res"
fi
