--no-haste-cabal option no longer exists for haste-boot #394

Closed gwildr closed 7 years ago

gwildr commented 7 years ago

I'm trying to build and boot Haste according the instructions on the build page https://github.com/valderman/haste-compiler/blob/master/doc/building.md.

I've completed the instructions up until Booting Haste. Since I have built haste-cabal I want to tell haste-boot to avoid downloading a pre-built haste-cabal binary using the --no-haste-cabal flag.

But this flag doesn't seem to exist anymore.

The options I get when I run haste-boot --help are the following:

`--dev Boot Haste for development. Implies --force --local --no-closure --build-haste-cabal

--force Re-boot Haste even if already properly booted.

--initial Prepare boot files for binary distribution. Should only ever be called by the release build scripts, never by users. Implies --local --force.

--local Use libraries from source repository rather than downloading a matching set from the Internet. This is nearly always necessary when installing Haste from Git rather than from Hackage. When using --local, your current working directory must be the root of the Haste source tree.

--no-closure Don't download Closure compiler. You won't be able to use --opt-minify, unless you manually give hastec the path to compiler.jar.

--download-haste-cabal Download pre-built haste-cabal for your platform. This is the default behaviour.

--with-haste-cabal=FILE Use FILE to provide haste-cabal.

--build-haste-cabal[=DIR] Build haste-cabal from the source contained in DIR. If DIR is not specified, `../cabal/' is assumed.

--no-libs Don't install any libraries. This is probably not what you want.

--trace-primops Build standard libs for tracing of primitive operations. Only use if you're debugging the code generator.

-v, --verbose Print absolutely everything.`

--no-haste-cabal got replaced with --with-haste-cabal=$YOUR_BINARY, which ensures that $YOUR_BINARY is both used to boot Haste, and installed together with the other binaries.
