Re: [Haskell-cafe] Makefile for a Haskell Project

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your kind comment.

By the way, is it possible to use ghc --make for my project including some external libraries and tools such as happy, Parsec and haskell stub calling C library?

I'm not sure about happy and foreign interfaces - as long as parsec is installed (via cabal or your distribution's packages), GHC will use it correctly.

I also tried out cabal to build my project but it seems quite complicated to use.

It's worth it if you want a more elaborate build process than ghc itself can accomodate, or if you intend to distribute your software on hackage. Running "cabal init" will guide you through creating a stub cabal file, so it's not too bad.

Best Regards.

Hi everyone,

I'm a newbie in Haskell.

I'm wondering that if there is any tool support creating Makefile for Haskell project like Ocamlbuild for Ocaml project?

Since ghc handles dependencies automatically, I usually just do,

all: ghc --make myprog

And then make sure `myprog.hs` is your Main module.

...

Thank you, Regards.
