# system-cabal

A small Haskell build tool over the Cabal library,

which tries to use v1 commands when possible otherwise it falls back to v2.

Unlike cabal-install, it can also be run from a project subdirectory.

`$ scbl --version`

```

0.1.0

```

`$ scbl --help`

```

system-cabal package build tool

Usage: scbl [--version] COMMAND

  Use system Haskell library to build Haskell packages

Available options:

  -h,--help                Show this help text

  --version                Show version

Available commands:

  config                   Configure a package

  configure                alias for config

  build                    Build a package

  run                      Run a package

  install                  Install a package

  test                     Test a package

  haddock                  Build documentation

  repl                     Run interpreter

  clean                    clean dist/

  help                     Cabal help output

```

## Usage

`scbl config` runs `Setup configure --user --prefix=~/.local`.

If dependencies are available in the system, then

`scbl build` and `scbl install` will initialize building by

running `Setup configure` if `dist/` does not exist,

and then run `Setup build`.

Further `scbl install` also runs `Setup install`.

Otherwise a v2 build will be done.

## Limitations

Currently projects can only be built from their source tree directly,

eventually downloading source from Hackage may be supported.
