I'd expect it to be '''out/foo.{o,hi}''', or '''out/src/foo.{o,hi}'''
(whatever is used by other non-Main modules).
I see. It's a bit more complicated, than I thought.
My initial use case was like that:
{{{
-- layout: tool1.hs tool2.hs ToolModule{1..10}.hs
-- and both tools use those ToolModule{1..10}.hs
$ ghc --make -odir vanilla tool1.hs
$ ghc --make -odir vanilla tool2.hs
$ ghc --make -odir prof -prof tool1.hs
$ ghc --make -odir prof -prof tool2.hs
}}}
where both tools would reuse some (10) of common module depends.
Custom Makefile did consider all %.hs get translated to %.o and %.hi.
As I understand it might be incorrect to assume that ToolModule*.hi
won't change when compiled against different tool{1,2}.hs files
(if we lack type signatures in those modules they might be dependent on
tool{1,2}.hs users), but it's already the problem for standard case:
{{{
$ ghc --make tool1.hs
$ ghc --make tool2.hs
}}}
But that's a bit confusing to suddently change main file's name to Main.o
especially for '-odir .'
Thanks for the pointers!
