haskell-clean-compile

Compile Haskell code without leaving behind temporary files.

Overview

The Haskell compiler often generates intermediate files during compilation, which developers must clean up manually.
This project provides a lightweight shell scripts — haskell — that compile Haskell code in a system temporary directory and automatically remove all intermediate files once the build is complete.

Features

• Clean builds: Produces native executables without leaving behind .hi or other temporary artifacts.
• Better code: Turn on warning flags to catch issues early and ensure cleaner code.
• Simple usage: Just provide your source files — the scripts take care of the rest.

System Requirements

• GHC 9.10+ (recommended)

Usage

$ haskell lib.hs utils.hs main.hs

Non-Goal

This project does not aim to replace Cabal.

Cabal remains the recommended build system for managing complex Haskell projects.
haskell-clean-compile is intended only as a lightweight helper for quick compilation without clutter.
