Even if you do need to use --make or GHCi, then I think you can still specify all the source files on the command line.

While on the subject of GHC's build options, can we change the behaviour of -no-hs-main when it's used with --make?

Currently, if you use --make and GHC finds a main function, it will attempt to link all the modules together to produce an executable -- even if you specify -no-hs-main.

Is it possible to modify the behaviour so that if --make -no-hs-main is specified, GHC won't perform the link if it finds a main function?

I think we should probably just have a -no-link option rather than overload the behaviour of the -no-hs-main option. Cheers, Simon
