How To Install ghc-shake-devel on CentOS 7
Introduction

What is ghc-shake-devel
This package provides the Haskell shake library development files. To use Shake the user writes a Haskell program that imports “Development.Shake”, defines some build rules, and calls the ‘Development.Shake.shakeArgs’ function. Thanks to do notation and infix operators, a simple Shake build system is not too dissimilar from a simple Makefile. However, as build systems get more complex, Shake is able to take advantage of the excellent abstraction facilities offered by Haskell and easily support much larger projects. The Shake library provides all the standard features available in other build systems, including automatic parallelism and minimal rebuilds. Shake also provides more accurate dependency tracking, including seamless support for generated files, and dependencies on system information (e.g. compiler version).
