I'm using Haddock 0.5, compiled for GHC 6.0.1, and I get warnings when "haddock"ing a simple module:
Warning: module not found: Prelude Warning: MyModule: the following names could not be resolved: Prelude.[] Bool Eq
I can see what's happening: I'm not passing Prelude.hs to Haddock, but I'm using pPrelude functions. But I don't want to pass it a Prelude.hs and don't want the warnings either. Is there any way to force it to be silent about unresolved Prelude functions?
There isn't a way to make it silent, unfortunately (maybe I'll add one). These warnings are harmless - they just indicate that Haddock couldn't find the right place to link to for these Prelude types. If you want to generate the hyperlinks, then you need the .haddock file for the base package, which is distributed with GHC, and pass the --read-interface flag to Haddock (see the docs for details).
