Does the Cabal have a default target?

If my .cabal file has multiple executables, I can highlight it to build by typing the name

cabal build myExecutable

But I'm lazy and I only want to type

cabal build

for the default target (I can handle extra input characters for my secondary executables).

Is it possible? (I have been searching and reviewing the bondage manual for a long time ... There is no definitive answer yet).

I have to do this, for example, 1000 times a day ....

You can hack something along with flags like:

    flag all
      default: False

   executable first-prog:
     buildable: True

   executable second-prog
     if flag(all)
       buildable: True
     else
       buildable: False

   executable third-prog:
     if flag(all)
       buildable: True
     else
       buildable: False


and then use cabal configure -fall; cabal build

when you want to create everything.

You can use the old solution to write a make file and just type

$ make


to your terminal.
