+ Make dependencies that declare that files with suffix
+ ``.<suf><osuf>`` depend on interface files with suffix
+ ``.<suf>hi``, or (for ``{-# SOURCE #-}`` imports) on ``.hi-boot``.
Multiple ``-dep-suffix`` flags are permitted. For example,
- ``-dep-suffix a -dep-suffix b`` will make dependencies for ``.hs``
+ ``-dep-suffix a_ -dep-suffix b_`` will make dependencies for ``.hs``
on ``.hi``, ``.a_hs`` on ``.a_hi``, and ``.b_hs`` on ``.b_hi``.
- (Useful in conjunction with NoFib "ways".)
+ Note that you must provide at least one suffix; if you do not want a suffix
+ then pass ``-dep-suffix ''``.
