Distribution.Simple.Build.PathsModule

Description

Generating the Paths_pkgname module.

This is a module that Cabal generates for the benefit of packages. It enables them to find their version number and find any installed data files at runtime. This code should probably be split off into another module.

Synopsis

- generate :: PackageDescription -> LocalBuildInfo -> String
- pkgPathEnvVar :: PackageDescription -> String -> String

# Documentation

Arguments

:: PackageDescription |

-> String | environment variable name
