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.

# Documentation

data InstallDirs dir #

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 directories. This is particularly the case on Unix style systems.

type InstallDirTemplates = InstallDirs PathTemplate #

The installation directories in terms of `PathTemplate`s 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 substitution (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/$libname/$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 #

defaultInstallDirs' :: Bool -> CompilerFlavor -> Bool -> Bool -> IO InstallDirTemplates #

combineInstallDirs :: (a -> b -> c) -> InstallDirs a -> InstallDirs b -> InstallDirs c #

absoluteInstallDirs :: PackageIdentifier -> UnitId -> CompilerInfo -> CopyDest -> Platform -> InstallDirs PathTemplate -> InstallDirs FilePath #

Convert from abstract install directories to actual absolute ones by substituting for all the variables in the abstract paths, to get real absolute path.

data CopyDest #

The location prefix for the copy command.

prefixRelativeInstallDirs :: PackageIdentifier -> UnitId -> CompilerInfo -> Platform -> InstallDirTemplates -> InstallDirs (Maybe FilePath) #

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 #

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 `PathTemplate`s that still have the `PrefixVar` in them. Doing this makes it each to check which paths are relative to the $prefix.

An abstract path, possibly containing variables that need to be substituted for to get a real `FilePath`.
