Question

How do you compile and run Haskell on notepad++
I installed the plugin NppExec and then I pressed F6
I saved my Haskell file to C:\Users\Sam\Desktop\haskell files\new 3.hs

So on the command after I press F6 I tried typing in a few different things:

C:\Users\Sam\Desktop\haskell files\new 3.hs`
ghc.exe new 3.hs
haskell new

but I got these responses:

C:\Users\Sam\Desktop\haskell files\new 3.hs
CreateProcess() failed with error code 2:
The system cannot find the file specified.

ghc.exe new 3.hs
Process started >>>
target `new' is not a module name or a source file
<<< Process finished.

haskell new 3
CreateProcess() failed with error code 2:
The system cannot find the file specified.

What is the correct way of compiling and executing at haskell file on notepad++?

Answer 1

You need to set NppExec to work in the current directory, so In Plugins, NppExec, tick Follow $(CURRENT_DIRECTORY).

Use the command ghc new3.hs when you press F6 (no spaces in filenames).
