README documentation for compile command is inaccurate #167

Open kwshi opened 4 years ago

kwshi commented 4 years ago

The readme documents the compile.command option as follows:

The full command to compile the entrypoint file, as a list, including the filename. This is run before the run command.

But examining several of the language configs under languages shows that "including the filename" is clearly not the case:

None of these command lists actually include the entrypoint source file, and trying to run those commands in the terminal gives an error like clang-7: error: no input files or ghc: no input files Usage: For basic information, try the--help' option.`

I think the wording is just off. I think it is referring to how the filename is part of the entrypoint list.
