+# Getting a statically-linked cabal-install in termux
+
+Be sure to have lots of free RAM; building the Cabal library from source takes roughly 4.5GiB at peak. Force stop apps if needed.
+
+apt install ghc ghc-libs-static
+apt install cabal-install
+
+Check using `dpkg -L ghc-libs-static' which libraries have static libs available
+Copy the .conf files for just those libraries from /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/ghc-8.10.7/package.conf.d/ into a new direcrory, ghc-boot-pkgdb
+
+In ghc-boot-pkgdb, run `ghc-pkg recache`
+
+cat >ghc-shim.sh <<EOF
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+if [[ $# = 1 && $1 = --print-global-package-db ]]; then
+	echo /data/data/com.termux/files/home/ghc-boot-pkgdb
+else
+	#echo >/dev/tty "!! ghc $*"
+	ghc "$@"
+fi
+EOF
+
+cat >ghc-pkg-shim.sh <<EOF
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+#echo >/dev/tty "!! ghc-pkg $*"
+args=()
+for arg; do
+	if [[ $arg != --global ]]; then
+		args[${#args[@]}]="$arg"
+	fi
+done
+ghc-pkg --package-db /data/data/com.termux/files/home/ghc-boot-pkgdb "${args[@]}"
+EOF
+
+Make a new directory 'cbl', and in that directory:

+cabal get resolv
+cabal get cabal-install
