Description
Explanation: Simple build system; basically the interface for Distribution.Simple.* modules. When given the parsed command-line args and package information, is able to perform basic commands like configure, build, install, register, etc. This module isn't called "Simple" because it's simple. Far from it. It's called "Simple" because it does complicated things to simple software.

Simple interface

defaultMain :: IO () | Source

A simple implementation of `main` for a Cabal setup script. It reads the package description file using IO, and performs the action specified on the command line.

defaultMainNoRead :: PackageDescription -> IO () | Source

Like `defaultMain`, but accepts the package description as input rather than using IO to read it.

defaultMainArgs :: [String] -> IO () | Source

A version of `defaultMain` that is passed the command line arguments, rather than getting them from the environment.
Customization

data UserHooks | Source

WARNING: The hooks interface is under rather constant flux as we try to understand users needs. Setup files that depend on this interface may break in future releases. Hooks allow authors to add specific functionality before and after a command is run, and also to specify additional preprocessors.
Constructors

UserHooks |

runTests :: (Args -> Bool -> PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> IO ()) | Used for `./setup test`
readDesc :: (IO (Maybe PackageDescription)) | Read the description file
hookedPreProcessors :: [PPSuffixHandler] | Custom preprocessors in addition to and overriding `knownSuffixHandlers`.
hookedPrograms :: [Program] | These programs are detected at configure time. Arguments for them are added to the configure command.
preConf :: (Args -> ConfigFlags -> IO HookedBuildInfo) | Hook to run before configure command
confHook :: ((Either GenericPackageDescription PackageDescription, HookedBuildInfo) -> ConfigFlags -> IO LocalBuildInfo) | Over-ride this hook to get different behavior during configure.
postConf :: (Args -> ConfigFlags -> PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> IO ()) | Hook to run after configure command
preBuild :: (Args -> BuildFlags -> IO HookedBuildInfo) | Hook to run before build command. Second arg indicates verbosity level.
buildHook :: (PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> UserHooks -> BuildFlags -> IO ()) | Over-ride this hook to gbet different behavior during build.
postBuild :: (Args -> BuildFlags -> PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> IO ()) | Hook to run after build command. Second arg indicates verbosity level.

type Args = [String] | Source

defaultMainWithHooks :: UserHooks -> IO () | Source

A customizable version of `defaultMain`.

defaultMainWithHooksArgs :: UserHooks -> [String] -> IO () | Source

A customizable version of `defaultMain` that also takes the command line arguments.

simpleUserHooks :: UserHooks | Source

Hooks that correspond to a plain instantiation of the "simple" build system

defaultUserHooks :: UserHooks | Source

Basic autoconf `UserHooks`:

- on non-Windows systems, `postConf` runs `./configure`, if present.
- the pre-hooks `preBuild`, `preClean`, `preCopy`, `preInst`, `preReg` and `preUnreg` read additional build information from package`.buildinfo`, if present.

Thus `configure` can use local system information to generate package`.buildinfo` and possibly other files.

emptyUserHooks :: UserHooks | Source

Empty `UserHooks` which do nothing.

defaultHookedPackageDesc :: IO (Maybe FilePath) | Source

Optional auxiliary package information file (pkgname`.buildinfo`)
