Re: Issue 240 in xmonad: recompilation fails silently

Updates: Status: Patch Owner: SpencerJanssen Comment #3 on issue 240 by vogt.adam: recompilation fails silently http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=240 Attached is a patch to accomplish the same indirectly by checking that the target executable is actually updated. But given that we have enough trouble to include the code for popping up an xmessage to welcome new users, then this patch might not be worth including since it addresses a rarer issue with somewhat more code.

Comment #4 on issue 240 by vogt.adam: recompilation fails silently http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=240 Updated: the previous patch somehow included XMonad.Replace, which we're not creating anymore (issue 99) Attachments: warn-when-the-xmonad__arch__os-is-not-newer-when-recompiling_.dpatch 5.2 KB -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Updates: Status: Fixed Comment #5 on issue 240 by vogt.a...@gmail.com: recompilation fails silently http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=240 On further consideration I think the patch in #4 isn't worth the complexity. A compromise is to call ghc with flags: -main-is main which makes it print (to stderr) a warning that the user might be able to find and interpret without too much trouble: Warning: output was redirected with -o, but no output will be generated because there is no Main module.
