Cabal/cabal-install are good tools for distribution and installation, but I was wondering -- as I was starting to learn how to use Cabal -- how do usually Haskell developpers build their softwares
I add the enclosed Makefile to the directory that contains the .cabal file, and then in emacs, run M-x compile. To move to location of an error, type C-x `. I bind compile to M-C-y in my .emacs.el file with: (global-set-key "\M-\C-y" 'compile) --------------- Makefile ---------------- # Haskell/Cabal Makefile # Requires GNU Make # The all target creates a default configuration if need be. PACKAGE := $(wildcard *.cabal) CONFIG = dist/setup-config SETUP = runhaskell Setup.hs all: $(CONFIG) $(SETUP) build Makefile: @echo make $@ $(PACKAGE): @echo make $@ $(CONFIG): $(PACKAGE) $(SETUP) configure --ghc --user --prefix="${HOME}" %: force $(SETUP) $@ .PHONY: all force
