--build flag missing in 0.2.1

[IR0NSIGHT]

on the lastest master i can use --build or -b to build an executable on my effekt script. (That way i can use commandline arguments)
this flag has existed since at least since commit cbff76e
cbff76e

I could not find docu on when it was added

on 0.2.1 clean new install -b is missing:

max-priv@NOAH367-L:~/Dokumente/repos/effekt$ effekt.sh -h
      --backend  <arg>        The backend that should be used Choices: js,
                              chez-callcc, chez-monadic, chez-lift, llvm, ml

      --llvm-version  <arg>   the llvm version that should be used to compile
                              the generated programs (only necessary if backend

  -o, --out  <arg>            Path to write generated files to (defaults to

max-priv@NOAH367-L:~/Dokumente/repos/effekt$ effekt.sh -b ./doesntExist.effekt
Unknown option 'b'

According to @phischu the option should be present on 0.2.1

If not, is there an easy workaround to use commandline arguments on 0.2.1?

The --build flag seems to have only been added in dc507aa (Oct 18, 2023), whereas v0.2.1 was released on Sep 24, 2023.

[Jonathan Immanuel Brachthäuser]

The corresponding option is defined here:

effekt/effekt/jvm/src/main/scala/effekt/EffektConfig.scala

Lines 19 to 23 in 3aa78e8

 val build: ScallopOption[Boolean] = toggle( 
   "build", 
   descrYes = "Compile the Effekt program and build a backend specific executable", 
   default = Some(false) 
 ) 

We should make a new release soon, but can you locally install effekt from source for now?

sbt install

Closing this, since this is not a bug in itself.
