build error "not suitable as entry point"

[kbroman]

I get an error when running npm run build-to pgs.js.

* Browserifying project in /home/kbroman/Code/purescript-genetics-browser
* Building project in /home/kbroman/Code/purescript-genetics-browser

* Browserifying...
* Genetics.Browser.UI.Container.main is not suitable as an entry point because it:
*
*  - is not of type Control.Monad.Eff.Eff (is instead Prim.Function)
*
* If you need to create a JavaScript bundle without an entry point, use
* the --skip-entry-point flag.
*
* If you are certain that Genetics.Browser.UI.Container.main has the correct runtime
* representation, use the --check-main-type or --no-check-main flags
* to amend or skip this check.

I don't quite understand it, because --skip-entry-point is being used.

If I modify package.json to include --check-main-type Prim.Function, it builds without errors, but if I insert the result into your genetics-browser-example, I get javascript errors (not shown).

Versions:

Pulp version 12.0.1
purs version 0.11.7 
npm version 5.7.1

I'm also confused about where to get the dalliance-all.js file, needed for example.html.

The readme is unfortunately out of date... I'll give it a refresh, thanks for the reminder!

Added a Makefile and updated the readme, should be easier to build now: https://github.com/chfi/purescript-genetics-browser#purescript-genome-browser

Cool, thanks. I'm now getting a different error with make test. But of course feel free to ignore this for now. And note that I edited the output a bit, since it was rather verbose.

Now that I think about it, this is a different error. Everything builds fine, it's just this one test error. So I'm going to close this issue and open a separate one.
