This package is not currently in any snapshots. If you're interested in using it, we recommend adding it to Stackage Nightly. Doing so will make builds more reliable, and allow stackage.org to host generated Haddocks.

The ghc-make program can be used as a drop-in replacement for ghc. This program targets two use cases:

  • If a flag such as -j4 is passed, the modules will be compiled in parallel. If the available parallelism is greater than a factor of 3, the build will probably run faster.

  • If there is no work to do (i.e. the compiled files are up-to-date), the build will run faster, sometimes significantly so.
