Defaulting to --make would make sense, as would a complete re-design of
the command-line syntax, but for the same reasons I don't think it's a
good idea. I don't want to break a lot of build systems for purely
aesthetical reasons.
Cheers,
Simon

How about changing it so --make is the default? I always use it. To me, that
makes it logical as the default. Of course there are reasons not to do this,
such as not breaking peoples build scripts, and no doubt others I'm overlooking
at the moment. A flag to select the old behavior would take care of the build
script problem, especially if it were also possible to use an environment
variable (instead of, or perhaps available in addition to, a command line flag)
to select the old behavior. (It isn't old, obviously, but I'm sure everyone
knows what I mean.)

Hello ,
how about adding suggestion to use "--make" to the following error
message? it would be very helpful for novices. i have run into this
problem several times before memoized that suggestion to use "-v"
actually means that i forgot to add "--make" :)
C:\!\Haskell\cpphs> ghc -O2 Main.hs
