Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to #include into .lhs files?

My guess (a complete guess) is that the deliterate step is creating a temporary .hs file elsewhere on your filesystem, which is why the CPP step can't find B.hs without a fully-qualified path. Michael On Fri, Feb 4, 2011 at 6:56 AM, Conal Elliott wrote:

Thanks, Daniel. I'm still stumped. When I say

#include "B.hs"

in a .hs file, all works fine, but when in a .lhs file I get "error: B.hs: No such file or directory". The file B.hs is in the same directory as the including file, which is the current directory for ghci. Same situation with ghc.

If I change "B.hs" to "./B.hs", I get the same behavior. Only if I use a fully qualified path name for B.hs does it get found from the .lhs file.

I'm using GHC 6.12.3 on Mac OS 10.6.6.

Any ideas? (Anyone, not just Daniel.)

Does anyone have a working example of #include'ing Haskell code into a bird-tracks-style .lhs file with GHC? Every way I try leads to parsing errors. Is there documentation about how it's supposed to work?

Help much appreciated.   - Conal

Stupid example:

-- Main:

...

{-# LANGUAGE CPP #-} module Main (main) where

#include "MachDeps.h"

...

main :: IO () main = do

#if WORD_SIZE_IN_BITS == 32

...

    putStrLn "32 bits"

#include "Stuff32"

# else

...

    putStrLn "64 bits"

#include "Stuff64" #endif

-- Stuff32:

     putStrLn "Included from Stuff32"

-- Stuff64:

     putStrLn "Included from Stuff64"

It's a bit tricky. Since the C preprocessor is run after the unlit, the included code should not have bird-tracks, also you have to get the indentation right. There's probably a way to run cpp before unlit, which would allow you to have bird-tracks in the #include'd code.

Much easier with LaTeX-style literate code.

Cheers, Daniel
