No, the `ghc` command has no rebuild logic built in, since it doesn't know which of your packages you're expecting to be available. You can pass in the `--package` flag, however, to tell it which packages you're expecting. I'm not sure if I've ever tested in the exact case you're trying, so you may have to resort to `stack build` in the directory, but `--package` is worth a shot.

I'm using Haskell stack in the normal way (i.e. "stack build", "stack exec") for most of my application. However, I also need to build files that aren't in the stack source tree.

My stack source tree is at ~/stack/cac/src/

Let's say I want to build the program /Users/Dennis/test.hs.

So far I have been using

stack ghc --stack-yaml ~/stack/cac/stack.yaml -- --make /Users/Dennis/test.hs

I am confused. I thought this was working until today. I made some modifications in various places, including to my cac.cabal (but NOT my stack.yaml) and I'm having a problem. The libraries that test.hs imports are not getting rebuilt when they change.

Are they *supposed* to be rebuilt? Any ideas how to debug this?
