Excerpts from Gwern Branwen's message of Mon Mar 22 21:37:24 +0100 2010:
? (Can we hardcode /tmp?)
We could use System.Directory.getTemporaryDirectory just to be on the safe side.
Sure. So: hunk ./XMonad/Core.hs 446 + tmp <- getTemporaryDirectory hunk ./XMonad/Core.hs 461 - waitForProcess =<< runProcess "ghc" ["--make", "xmonad.hs", "-i", "-ilib", "-fforce-recomp", "-v0", "-o",binn] (Just dir) + waitForProcess =<< runProcess "ghc" ["--make", "xmonad.hs", "-i", "-ilib", "-fforce-recomp", "-hidir", tmp, "-odir", "/tmp", "-v0", "-o",binn] (Just dir) Note that this compiles and leaves in my /tmp a Main.o and a Main.hi, with no intermediates in ~/.xmonad, but xmonad --restart doesn't seem to work for me; I am unsure whether the failure of --restart is part of my general bugginess or related to this edit. Other people trying it out would be good. -- gwern
