I downloaded your package and tried it. It does work.
So, what I have is
bitonic@clay ~/src/kant (git)-[master] % cat .ghci :set -isrc
And I still get the mentioned error. Did you take any other measures to make things work? I’m using ghc-mod version 1.11.3.
Ah, I only just realised that you’re talking about the flymake error, not the inferior-mode error. The problem is pretty much the same though. flymake uses ghc --make, which can’t import the Kant module because it doesn’t know how to build Parser.y. ghc-ghc-options is the right place for flymake options to ghc.
Kant.REPL, which it is trying to load, is in the kant package. So it is looking for either the installed kant package, or the source files for the kant package modules.
How is that not a package dependency? Telling it where to find the source files will remove the need to find an installed kant package.
OK, now I understand what you are doing: instead of making ghc-mod rely on cabal, you simply make it load the files directly. Which is a bit annoying in my case because I have some files that need to be preprocessed (alex/happy), but it would still be better than nothing. I can achieve the same result by simply moving the ‘cabal’ file, or by deleting the target. I guess that the ‘.ghci’ has (or should have) the same effect.
Options in .ghci won’t fix flymake, only inferior-mode. ghc-ghc-options is the place to fix flymake, although it won’t help if the import fails anyway. Can’t you manually preprocess Parser.y so that ghc --make has a .hs file it can use? -- CJ van den Berg mailto:cj@vdbonline.com xmpp:neurocyte@gmail.com
