Hello everyeone, My main file, ex6.hs, imports Pictures.hs: import Pictures import Data.Char {- .. bunch of code then main...-} main = putStrLn $ show (newHeight imgA imgB) It compiled to an executable and runs just fine: terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp/ex$ hmake -i../Code ex6 /usr/bin/haskell-compiler -i../Code -o ex6 ../Code/Pictures.o ex6.o terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp/ex$ ./ex6 32 terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp/ex$ However, when I attempt to create an executable traceable by Hat, I have some problems: terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp/ex$ hmake -hat -i../Code ex6 hat-trans -i../Code ../Code/Pictures.hs Creating directories Hat Hat/.. Hat/../Code Wrote Hat/../Code/Pictures.hs /usr/bin/haskell-compiler -i../Code -c -package hat -o ../Code/Hat/Picture\s.o ../Code/Hat/Pictures.hs ghc-6.2.2: error: directory portion of "../Code/Hat/Pictures.o" does not exist \(used with "-o" option.) Above it looks like the wrong directory was created. Hat created the directory Hat/../Code when I think it should have created the directory ../Code/Hat. At any rate, I went ahead and made the directory that the error complained did not exist and then re-ran, but still had errors: terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp/ex$ hmake -hat -i../Code ex6 hat-trans -i../Code ../Code/Pictures.hs Wrote Hat/../Code/Pictures.hs /usr/bin/haskell-compiler -i../Code -c -package hat -o ../Code/Hat/Picture\s.o ../Code/Hat/Pictures.hs ghc-6.2.2: file `../Code/Hat/Pictures.hs' does not exist terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp/ex$ Switching to absolute paths for the -i flag did not help and using -d/tmp to force all .o files to be created in one place did not help either. Any input on getting my entire program traceable is appreciated. If you care to look at ex6.hs or Pictures.hs, my entire haskell directory tree can be browsed by the web here: http://www.hcoop.net/~terry/haskell/craft-of-fp ex6.hs is here: http://www.hcoop.net/~terry/haskell/craft-of-fp/ex/ex6.hs and Pictures.hs is here: http://www.hcoop.net/~terry/haskell/craft-of-fp/ex/Code/Pictures.hs ======== As an afterthought, I tried making my project from the directory above both the main file and the imported file, but that failed as well: terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp$ hmake -iCode ex/ex6 terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp$ ex/ex6 32 terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp$ hmake -hat -iCode ex/ex6 hat-trans -iCode Code/Pictures.hs Creating directories Hat Hat/Code Wrote Hat/Code/Pictures.hs /usr/bin/haskell-compiler -iCode -c -package hat -o Code/Hat/Pictures.o Code/Hat/Pictures.hs ghc-6.2.2: file `Code/Hat/Pictures.hs' does not exist terry@Abulafia:~/haskell/craft-of-fp$ Regards, -- Carter's Compass: I know I'm on the right track when, by deleting something, I'm adding functionality.
