#15949: Hadrian needs more convenient build target names -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: (none) Type: feature | Status: new request | Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- With the `make` build system one can easily build a particular library or executable by `cd`ing into the relevant directory and typing `make`. With `hadrian` there appears to be no convenient way to replicate this. Instead, you need to know the name of the final target which the build will produce which may contain version numbers, platform triples, and all sorts of other ugliness. I suggest we introduce a set of convenience targets to make this easier. For instance one could run: {{{ $ hadrian stage1:lib:ghc }}} to build the stage1 `ghc` library or {{{ $ hadrian stage2:exe:hp2ps }}} to build `hp2ps`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15949 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
