Description

If I first configure an unpacked package inside its source directory

cabal configure --prefix=/my/path --flags=whatever

and then afterwards do

cabal install

then the configure options I gave before are not recognized by the 'cabal install'.

Instead, 'cabal install' without a package name argument should inspect whether the package is already configured and use whatever options have been set.
