Conditional data-files #10555

Open augustss opened 3 days ago

augustss commented 3 days ago

What is your question? I need to install different data-files depending on a condition (in my case which compiler it is). I tried using an if, but that doesn't seem to work.

Is there no way to do this? Or am I just being stupid?

System information cabal-install version 3.12.1.0 compiled using version 3.12.1.0 of the Cabal library

I haven't tested this but from the docs it looks like conditionals are not available for data-files:

Conditional blocks may appear anywhere inside a component or common section. SOURCE: Conditional Blocks.
