I use cabal-dev [1] along with the react tool [2]. The former does the
dependencies-configure-build-install and the latter is a command-line
wrapper around inotify.

With this combo you can rebuild your project whenever any Haskell source
file changes:

react -p "*.hs" src/ "cabal-dev install"

For my workflow, I have an additional wrapper script for cabal-dev that
generates a quickfix file for Vim [3]. Then the workflow goes like:
safe file -> wait for build to complete (OSD/libnotify) -> press F5 to
jump to the location of the first compiler error or warning.

Together with NERDTree [4] this is almost like an IDE ;-)

Greetings

Alex
