How to delete unbuildable goal?
I would like to remove files that no longer have source but without cleaning.
Is there support for partially cleaning an incremental build? In this case, I guess I could compare against set of source files that were consumed in previous builds and…

How to define a Shake rule that depends on some modification of an input
Using Shake, I want to define a rule that depends on a bunch of executables (e.g. exe, dll, etc.). However, before using them, they need to be digitally signed. Since "signing" doesn't actually produce a new file, how can I ensure that my rule…

What is the equivalent of default: in Shake
I'm trying to use Shake as replacement for Make in small project. Currently it's mostly used for aliasing shell commands. Is there any way to specify default phony action? Something similar to default: in makefile. For example, given:
phony "build"…

Generalizing intermediate rules when they will only be used end-to-end on one target
I'm writing Shake build rules for some ultimate result _build/a.4. Let's say its direct dependency is _build/a.3, which in turn depends on _build/a.2, and so on to _build/a.1. I also have a rule which produces _build/a.1 in some "bespoke" manner.
Is…

I have a complicated setup where I generate a Vivado project file, and then run Vivado's synthesis tool to consume said project file and produce a bitfile. During this last step, Vivado updates some fields in the project file.
Below is a…

Why no `Action a -> Rules a` function
In Shake there is a way to run an Action from Rules:
action :: Action a -> Rules ()
But I couldn't find a function which returns the result of the Action, namely:
actionWithResult :: Action a -> Rules a
How come?
