This library provides a flycheck checker for Haskell source code using hdevtools.
hdevtools is a syntax and type checker which caches information in persistent
background daemons, and thus checks faster than plain GHC.
You'll need Emacs 24 for flycheck, so the recommended way to get
flycheck-hdevtools is as a package from the MELPA
repository. The version of haskell-hdevtools there will always be
up-to-date.
If you insist on doing things the hard way, first ensure flycheck is
installed, then download this code and add the directory to your Emacs
load-path.
Then, in your init.el:
(eval-after-load 'flycheck
'(require 'flycheck-hdevtools))Make sure that the hdevtools binary is present on Emacs' exec-path, or
customize flycheck-haskell-hdevtools-executable to point to the hdevtools
binary.
When flycheck is enabled (e.g. with global-flycheck-mode), Haskell
buffers will be automatically checked using this checker.
