    Educational computer programming environment using Haskell

  • You know, now that you mention it, that sounds familiar. There's an issue for this at https://github.com/google/codeworld/issues/1182, and having cabal set up an environment file for GHC is mentioned there. There are some other complications: for example, with cabal v2-install, I can't seem to list multiple packages in local directories. So the answer to that seems to be creating a cabal.project file that lists them all... but then I want to install all of the packages from that cabal.project file into the environment, and their dependencies, and also make the consistent set of dependency versions that work with them (as chosen by Cabal's constraint solver) available in an environment for any further projects built against those same libraries.

  • Cabal

    Official upstream development repository for Cabal and cabal-install

  • It does not work well. After several such installations with cabal updates, it will probably end up with messed ghc environment and render this approach unusable. Bugs #6394 and #6391 are still open. There is also an open bug #6481 that will probably fix this problem.
