Can someone point out what I am doing wrong?
Thanks, Dominic.
[dom@tility Codec]$ haddock Codec/Utils.hs
--read-interface=http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/base,/usr/s hare/doc/ghc-6.4/libraries/base/base.haddock
Warning: Codec.Utils: the following names could not be resolved: Integral Word8 Int
I don't believe that Haddock will download from a URL.
Try downlading the base.haddock file first: $ haddock Codec/Utils.hs --read-interface=base.haddock
In this case it would be better if Haddock gave you an error about there being no such (local) file as "http://www.haskell.org/g...", rather than ignoring it. I'd call this a user interface bug.
Dominic was using it correctly - the syntax for --read-interface is --read-interface=U,F where U is a url, and F is the path to the .haddock file. If you name a non-existent file, Haddock does indeed complain. Dominic: are you using Haddock 0.7? The interfaces shipped with GHC were generated by 0.7, which has a new interface format. Unfortunately I haven't got around to actually releasing 0.7 yet, but the sources are in CVS. Cheers, Simon
