The fundamental problem is that ghci has no concept of "projects". The correct place for this is in Cabal, which *does* have project support, but as yet it has no support for ghci. It's conceivable that the ghci user commands capability could be used to find (and optionally) parse a *.cabal file to identify a package root, at the price of an initial slowdown if you didn't have one. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allb...@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allb...@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxDXB0ACgkQIn7hlCsL25WqagCg1Z9yJunJObDQWj27awIjZgNF 420AoNFoW3O75O1VOOP7lzXOVW7iMtjZ =jaTS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
