#8600: ghc --help is outdated ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Feuerbach | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | ------------------------------------+------------------------------------- {{{ To compile and link a complete Haskell program, run the compiler like so: ghc --make Main where the module Main is in a file named Main.hs (or Main.lhs) in the current directory. The other modules in the program will be located and compiled automatically, and the linked program will be placed in the file `a.out' (or `Main.exe' on Windows). }}} First, --make is no longer necessary. Second, ghc doesn't create a.out on Unix — instead, the file is named the same as the main module (Main in that example). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8600 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
