Re: [Haskell-cafe] Compiling with NHC98

...

I haven't used NHC so I can't guarantee this will work, but try doing something like this:

$ nhc98 -c RC4.hs $ nhc98 -c prng.hs $ nhc98 RC4.o prng.o -o prng

Yay! It does. And I just put it in a makefile:

------- COMPILER=nhc98 RC4.o: $(COMPILER) -c RC4.hs prng.o: $(COMPILER) -c prng.hs prng: RC4.o prng.o $(COMPILER) RC4.o prng.o -o prng

I strongly recommend using 'hmake' (which is supplied with nhc98, but also works with ghc) in preference to 'make'. It tracks the dependencies between haskell source files automatically (no Makefile), so there is no chance for the dependencies to get out of sync with reality.. Hmake was the inspiration for ghc's recently added '--make' option. However, hmake is more flexible, because it automatically handles the invocation of many common preprocessors, besides working with multiple compilers. Regards, Malcolm
