My program uses the HaXml library. When I run hmake it fails to compile my program, due to this error:

Fail: /home/hofte/local//include/hat/Text/XML/HaXml/Xml2Haskell.hx: openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

It seems that hmake can't find the .hx files for the HaXml package, because the package is not a standard Haskell package. My question is now, how can I generate .hx file for the HaXml package?

I suggest you follow the instructions at http://www.haskell.org/fp/hat/libraries.html that is, "If you wish to trace a program that uses some libraries, then at the moment you need to copy the source for that library into the same source tree as your program, and explicitly compile it for tracing along with the program. Obviously this requires that the library itself is implemented exclusively in the superset of Haskell'98 supported by Hat. If you trust that the library is correct and do not wish to trace its internal calls, then you can give the flag -trusted to hat-trans (for that library alone)." I believe HaXml should compile fairly straightforwardly for tracing with Hat, if you just take a copy of its sources into your own program build-tree. Regards, Malcolm
