If you pass a list of .o files---and only .o files (i.e. no .hs files)---to GHC, and --make is specified, nothing happens. Is it possible to change this behaviour so that GHC will link the .o files together into an executable?
Not possible at the moment, I'm afraid. GHC's intelligence about which
packages to link comes from inspecting the interfaces for the compiled
modules, not from the .o files themselves. This is why one-shot linking
needs to have explicit -package flags on the command line.
Is there some reason you can't use ghc --make in the normal way?
I'm trying to integrate GHC with Apple's Project Builder IDE (which will soon be deprecated in favour of their new IDE, Xcode). Project Builder follows the standard C linking process: it compiles each file individually, and then links them all together at the end with a linking command.
'tis not a big hassle; I'm doing the linking without --make right now, and that works okay. The only downside is that you have to specify the packages to link in too.
