Building Both "Regular" and "Profiling" Libraries

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

A much more helpful reply than mine; I'll add it to the user manual.

| What I do is I have a few aliases:
|=20
|   ghcm: ghc --make ... -osuf sun4.o -hisuf sun4.hi
|   ghcp: ghc --make ... -osuf sun4.prof.o -hisuf sun4.prof.hi -prof
|               -auto-all
|=20
| These are set in my .cshrc file so the "sun4" is actually the $ARCH
| variable of the machine I'm currently on (this enables me to have i686
and
| sun4 binaries coexisting in a friendly manner).
|=20
| Then, when I want a normal build, I do:
|=20
|    ghcm Foo.hs -o Foo
|=20
| and for a profiled:
|=20
|    ghcp Foo.hs -o Foo_prof
|=20
| It saves a lot of build time.
|=20
| Is this the sort of thing you're looking for?
