Hi,
What great timing! I will be giving a talk at the Haskell Implementors
Workshop tomorrow about the Make system Shake. It will be video taped
and I can send you the slides after I've given the talk. So wait a
day, and I'll give you all the answers.
Thanks, Neil

Hi All, I was thinking about doing an EDSL for Makefile (as an exercise) I put down my line of thought here - http://hpaste.org/40233/haskell_makefile_edsl
I'd appreciate some feedback on the approach. Also, I wanted some idea on how(in the current approach) I could make the target name and the dependency available to the action writer - as shown below.
r1 = Rule { target = "file1", dependsOn = ["file2"], action = do execute ("gcc -c " ++ dependencyList ++ " -o " ++ target) }
Neil Mitchell gave a talk at AngloHaskell 2009 on doing a better make in Haskell. I've found the abstract on the wiki: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/AngloHaskell/2009 but, alas, no slides to be found. My memory was that he had implemented the system successfully for internal use at a company and it had worked out quite well. Perhaps you can contact him about the slides.
Thanks,
Neil. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
