Folks,
Suppose I have a cabalized project where the source is under src/ and the generated code goes into dist/build/test/test-tmp/.
How can I load modules from the generated code directory when I'm in the parent of both src and dist?
If I do :set -idist/build/test/test-tmp then ghci tries to look for source files there but they are in src. If I :set -isrc then ghci doesn't look for the already compiled code and just interprets the source files. I'm looking to load the pre-compiled files.
Take a look at how Cabal invokes GHC, by running 'setup build -v'. The main options you need are -odir and -hidir, which tell GHC to look for object files and interface files somewhere other than next to the source files. Cheers, Simon
