Allow choice of executable path #59

Closed pthariensflame closed 7 years ago

pthariensflame commented 7 years ago

Right now, haskell-emacs is unusable for me because it can't find stack (or cabal, nix, or ghc, for that matter). I've looked at the customization interface, but it doesn't allow me to specify that I want the use ~/.local/bin/stack, rather than it trying (and failing) to pick up an executable named stack from a nonexistent PATH.

Is it not acceptable to add $HOME/.local/bin to the emacs PATH variable?

@mwotton It's unfortunately not possible for me to modify my PATH at all; I'm using Aquamacs, which means that it launches as an application and I don't get the chance to alter its environment.

I don't mean the PATH in the environment, I mean the emacs PATH - you can set it in your .emacs. see https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ExecPath

Oh, I didn't even know that was a thing. 😆 Ok, having solved the problem, I'll close this issue.
