(cat rts.c; ./vm run effectively.hs) > lonely.c is waiting for stdin?

Ben, this is an amazing project that I'm still wrapping my head around.

I spotted a curious issue Ubuntu 21.04/x86_64 which might be a documentation issue. The README.adoc has

  $ (cat rts.c; ./vm run effectively.hs) > lonely.c
  $ cc -O2 lonely.c -o lonely

but AFAICT, the first command is waiting for stdin. (Giving in an ^D makes it proceed).

Thanks!

Yes, this is a documentation issue that I'll fix soon. I didn't copy and paste from the Makefile correctly. It should be (cat rts.c; ./vm run effectively.hs < lonely.hs) > lonely.c.

Just pushed the fix.
