| 2023-04-11 06:48:06 | <hopelessness[m]> | I want to use `HLS` for my config and I set up the `hie.yaml`... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/libera.chat/cb1f65ab55a4bb244bba1b216a7155a4d02037a6>) |
| 2023-04-11 06:48:12 | <hopelessness[m]> | I'm using cabal |
| 2023-04-11 07:42:08 | <geekosaur> | I ended up using a fully cabalized config; NLS doesn't use env files like we use with the simple cabal config |
| 2023-04-11 07:42:41 | <geekosaur> | this requires a `build` file, but doesn't require a `hie.yaml` |

| 2023-04-11 07:44:06 | <hopelessness[m]> | hm ok, thank you |
| 2023-04-11 07:44:08 | <hopelessness[m]> | I'll take a look at it |
| 2023-04-11 07:45:41 | <geekosaur> | (the build file is the standard cabal-suggested one, https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/scripts/build/build-with-cabal.sh, only with a little added verbosity |
| 2023-04-11 07:45:46 | <geekosaur> | ) |
| 2023-04-11 07:46:31 | <hopelessness[m]> | something icks me about this solution |
| 2023-04-11 07:46:42 | <hopelessness[m]> | I'd have preferred if it worked "natively" |
| 2023-04-11 07:51:05 | <geekosaur> | there's a conflict between that and not having xmonad pollute the whole system |
| 2023-04-11 07:51:20 | <hopelessness[m]> | mhm, I understand |
| 2023-04-11 07:51:36 | <hopelessness[m]> | there's also the source-in-.config issue |

| 2023-04-11 10:26:33 | <hopelessness[m]> | starting `xmonad` via the `xsession` desktop entry just .. doesn't work |
| 2023-04-11 10:27:42 | <hopelessness[m]> | if I manually use `.cabal/bin/xmonad` or `.cache/xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux` then recompilation doesn't work and it tells me that `xmonad` is not on path |
| 2023-04-11 10:28:02 | <hopelessness[m]> | but doing which xmonad gives me the cabal one |
| 2023-04-11 10:28:09 | <hopelessness[m]> | which is the right binary and why are there so many |

| 2023-04-11 14:10:36 | <geekosaur> | okay, the problem there is that the path in your terminal is not the same as the path in the display manager, unless you're on Fedora |

| 2023-04-11 14:12:20 | <geekosaur> | I used to use a wrapper script (see `start-xmonad` in my config dir) but now I add it to the session startup (see `10profile` but you'll need to edit it because I have my dotfiles broken up into parts and pointed it to the `$PATH` part) |
| 2023-04-11 14:12:28 | <geekosaur> | hopelessness[m] ^^ |
| 2023-04-11 14:14:11 | <geekosaur> | the `10profile` is symlinked to `/etc/X11/Xsession.d/10profile` but that's on debian/ubuntu, it may differ on other distributions |
| 2023-04-11 14:16:02 | <hopelessness[m]> | ok, so `~/.local/bin/xmonad` is the "right" binary? |
| 2023-04-11 14:16:21 | <geekosaur> | yes |
| 2023-04-11 14:16:56 | <geekosaur> | and ~/.local/bin should be on your PATH |
| 2023-04-11 14:17:26 | <hopelessness[m]> | ok cool |
| 2023-04-11 14:18:59 | <hopelessness[m]> | thank you |
| 2023-04-11 14:19:54 | <geekosaur> | my 10profile references `~/.bsa-common` which is the common part of both interactive (ssh or console) and non-interactive (X11 session) logins; if you really care it's at https://github.com/geekosaur/dotty/blob/master/.bsa-common but it's a lot more complex than most people need to care about 🙂 |
| 2023-04-11 14:24:36 | <geekosaur> | (most people don't even need to distinguish between console, ssh, screen/tmux, display manager…) |

| 2023-04-11 15:37:01 | <hopelessness[m]> | .local/bin/xmonad is not where the binary goes |
| 2023-04-11 15:37:14 | <hopelessness[m]> | wait let me check something |

| 2023-04-11 15:44:50 | <hopelessness[m]> | cabal build only places binaries in the .config/xmonad/dist-newstyle directory |
| 2023-04-11 15:45:09 | <hopelessness[m]> | I think it's supposed to symlink the other binaries |
| 2023-04-11 15:47:58 | <geekosaur> | yes, cabal build is only in-place. you want cabal install |
| 2023-04-11 15:52:50 | <hopelessness[m]> | thanks |
| 2023-04-11 15:53:06 | <hopelessness[m]> | now recompilation doesn't work because it uses `ghc` instead of cabal |
| 2023-04-11 15:53:24 | <hopelessness[m]> | it says it does that because the `build` file doesn't exist |

| 2023-04-11 16:02:28 | <geekosaur> | right, you need ~/.config/xmonad/build (make sure to make it executable) for it to use anything other than ghc |

| 2023-04-11 16:03:18 | <geekosaur> | (well, if it sees a stack.yaml it does `stack exec ghc`, but there's no good equivalent for cabal) |
| 2023-04-11 16:03:39 | <hopelessness[m]> | mhm |
| 2023-04-11 16:03:48 | <hopelessness[m]> | can I just put that in the build |
| 2023-04-11 16:03:52 | <hopelessness[m]> | the stack install? |
| 2023-04-11 16:05:15 | <geekosaur> | I thought you were using cabal? you can't really switch that easily |
| 2023-04-11 16:05:28 | <hopelessness[m]> | cabal install* |
| 2023-04-11 16:05:31 | <hopelessness[m]> | I meant |
| 2023-04-11 16:06:19 | <geekosaur> | you need to do a little more because building your config wants the result in a different place than cabal (or stack) puts it |
| 2023-04-11 16:06:49 | <geekosaur> | so you need to use https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/blob/master/scripts/build/build-with-cabal.sh |
| 2023-04-11 16:06:57 | <hopelessness[m]> | I think it would have been easier going with stack from the get-go, lol |
| 2023-04-11 16:07:06 | <geekosaur> | and there's an equivalent for stack because it doesn't put the result in the right place either |
| 2023-04-11 16:07:38 | <geekosaur> | stack still wouldn't have given you HLS ability without doing the same extra work including a build script |
| 2023-04-11 16:07:50 | <geekosaur> | HLS just doesn't know to follow the same things xmonad does |
| 2023-04-11 16:08:18 | <hopelessness[m]> | alright |
| 2023-04-11 16:08:48 | <geekosaur> | in fact, last I heard HLS got really confused if you have a simplified `stack.yaml` like `INSTALL.html` has you do |
| 2023-04-11 16:10:53 | <hopelessness[m]> | `cd: can't cd to ~/.config/xmonad/` |
| 2023-04-11 16:10:55 | <hopelessness[m]> | whyyyyyy? |
| 2023-04-11 16:11:30 | <hopelessness[m]> | nvm |
| 2023-04-11 16:11:51 | <hopelessness[m]> | it still doesn't replace itself |
| 2023-04-11 16:13:25 | <geekosaur> | doesn't replace what? |
| 2023-04-11 16:13:46 | <geekosaur> | ~/.cabal/bin/xmonad doesn't change; that came from `cabal install xmonad` |
| 2023-04-11 16:15:07 | <geekosaur> | what changes is a file named something like `~/.cache/xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux` (will vary by OS and arch) |
| 2023-04-11 16:24:28 | <hopelessness[m]> | wait, I'm mistaking something |
| 2023-04-11 16:27:39 | <hopelessness[m]> | yeah, I mean the `xmonad --restart`` |
| 2023-04-11 16:27:57 | <hopelessness[m]> | s/``/`/ |
| 2023-04-11 16:27:57 | <hopelessness[m]> | It's not actually replacing itself |
| 2023-04-11 16:28:59 | <geekosaur> | what's it doing? |
