[back to package description]

'ghc-parmake' is a parallel wrapper for 'ghc --make': it is intended to work as
its drop-in replacement. It can build your Haskell program or library in
parallel using multiple cores and will be integrated with 'cabal build'
eventually (though I also plan to support the standalone version).

'ghc-parmake' works by first extracting a module dependency graph with 'ghc -M'
and then running multiple 'ghc -c' processes in parallel. Currently, it can
build itself and some small test programs (see the 'tests' directory).

Usage: ghc-parmake OPTS FILES

Options:

-j N    - Run N jobs in parallel.
-vv[N]  - Set verbosity to N (only for ghc-parmake). N is 0-3, default 1.
-v[N]   - Set verbosity to N (both for GHC and ghc-parmake itself).
--help  - Print usage information.
-V      - Print version information.

Other options are passed to GHC unmodified.

Known limitations:

      * Building libraries is not yet supported.
      * Build fails when -odir != -hidir.
      * Unlike 'ghc --make', ghc-parmake can't figure out package dependencies automatically,
        so you'll need to specify them by hand with the -package option.
      * -hisuf/-osuf are not supported (needed for building libs for profiling).
      * Tested only on Linux.
