Hello guys, I'm pretty sure the answer is "no", but I was hoping to get some extra insight / best practices. The problem can be summarised by this SO question (not the OP, but I have the same problem):
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15731170/cabal-how-to-add-text-file-as-a-build-dependency As someone states, "data-files" in for run-time, whereas I need to tell cabal "please copy these files in place before trying to compile", so at compile-time. Does something similar exist? I think the best solution, unless someone prove me wrong, is to create a small startup script which copies the files for me (I *think* yesod is using something similar, namely a script called EmbeddedFiles.hs) and then triggers "cabal install" the usual way. Can you come up with a better way? Thanks in advance! Alfredo
