I wrote several times that I want determine application directory under Windows only. Unix version will store its config in predefined location, in /etc. Anyway, one not subscribed man wrote me about special library to solve this problem - http://hackage.haskell.org/package/executable-path On

'FindBin' is also useful. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/FindBin While System.Directory is quite useful, it doesn't contain a function to obtain the directory in which the running program lives. You can get the current (working) directory (e.g. unix's 'getpwd'), and you can try to

Hi, I'm writing cross-platform application in Haskell which should be running under Windows and Linux. Under Linux configuration is stored in the /etc directory, and under Windows configuration is meant to be in the application directory. So, is there a way to get an application directory path

Thanks, but my program will be distributed in self-made installer (on windows), though I'm using cabal and the sources are GPL-licensed. Just for users' convenience :) On Wed, Jan 27, 2010 at 09:42:45AM -0800, Thomas DuBuisson wrote: Other responses have been great but if you are cabalizing you

Oh yeah, it seems I found it. Solution is to use getModuleFileName and getModuleHandle functions from System.Win32.DLL. Thanks for attention :) ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
