GHC 7.8.3 not producing binary

No binary is produced when I ghc -O2 --make Test.hs, but only the .o and .hi files. Test.hs contains a main :: IO () function and has module name Test.

Is the linker not behaving? How can I fix this? I'm using GHC 7.8.3 on OSX, have Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0

Thank you in advance for any hints

Your problem is the module name. GHC expects a function named main in a module named Main as a default. You can override this with the -main-is option. As in

ghc -O2 -main-is Test --make Test.hs
