Have Clash Emit Verilog Into Specific Directory

[ThePerfectComputer]

How can I have Clash emit an its verilog output into a specific directory beside ./verilog?

See https://clash-lang.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developing-hardware/flags.html, you're looking for -fclash-hdldir.

It would seem intuitive it it worked it -o since verilog is technically a compiler target.

The issue is that -o usually references a file as output and not a directory, see also https://downloads.haskell.org/ghc/latest/docs/users_guide/separate_compilation.html#options-output.

Following up on that link above, Clash does actually respect the GHC's -outputdir flag, so much so that it even has precedence over -fclash-hdldir.

Ah - OK. That makes sense.
