Installation

$ stack install

Suggested Usage

One thing I do often while working on a computer that fails a lot is compilation.

To build and register this project, I run one command:

$ stack install

but, when I need to make changes, compilation often fails for some reason or another.

For example, imagine I added this to Determination.hs:

someExtraThing :: Bool
someExtraThing = 1

$ stack install
determination-0.1.0.0: unregistering (local file changes: src/Determination.hs)
determination-0.1.0.0: build
Preprocessing library determination-0.1.0.0...
[1 of 1] Compiling Determination    ( src/Determination.hs, .stack-work/dist/x86_64-osx/Cabal-1.22.4.0/build/Determination.o )

/Users/Ben/determination/src/Determination.hs:55:18:
    No instance for (Num Bool) arising from the literal ‘1’
    In the expression: 1
    In an equation for ‘someExtraThing’: someExtraThing = 1

Let's wrap it with determination in a Makefile so we can be less sad when things fail:

# Makefile
install:
  determination "stack install"

Special Thanks
