In the cabal file I specify the GHC options -Wall
and -O2
:
name: Test
version: 0.1.0.0
build-type: Simple
cabal-version: >=1.8
executable Test
hs-source-dirs: src
main-is: Test.hs
build-depends: base >=4.8 && <4.10
ghc-options: -Wall -O2
When I compile the program Test.hs:
data Color = Red | Green | Blue
foo :: Color -> Int
foo Red = 0
foo Green = 1
-- foo Blue is intentionally missing!!
I get the error:
Preprocessing executable 'Test' for Test-0.1.0.0...

Process exited with code: ExitFailure 1
The error about the missing main action is not the problem. Look at the text at the end of the second last line:
build exe:Test --ghc-options " -ddump-hi -ddump-to-file"
Why do I not see my GHC options -Wall -O2? (I fear, I did some stupid little mistake ...)
