What I do is I have a few aliases: ghcm: ghc --make ... -osuf sun4.o -hisuf sun4.hi ghcp: ghc --make ... -osuf sun4.prof.o -hisuf sun4.prof.hi -prof -auto-all These are set in my .cshrc file so the "sun4" is actually the $ARCH variable of the machine I'm currently on (this enables me to have i686 and sun4 binaries coexisting in a friendly manner). Then, when I want a normal build, I do: ghcm Foo.hs -o Foo and for a profiled: ghcp Foo.hs -o Foo_prof It saves a lot of build time. Is this the sort of thing you're looking for? -- Hal Daume III "Computer science is no more about computers | hdaume@isi.edu than astronomy is about telescopes." -Dijkstra | www.isi.edu/~hdaume On Wed, 9 Oct 2002, Ashley Yakeley wrote:

Yes there is. In your build.mk, set GhcLibWays = p

This is discussed a lot in the Building Guide, which I commend to you if you are building GHC.

I'm not building GHC. I just want to build my own stuff and I don't have a build.mk...
