Another proposal here: http://is.gd/EbUJXu-
That seems a good solution. I have 2 suggestions:
- Remove the `chrpath` dependency which is not needed - Use a ${_ghcversion}="ghc-7.6.3" variable to replace in > text "mkdir ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/ghc-7.6.3/shared" <$> > text "(cd ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/ghc-7.6.3/shared;" <$> > text " for f in $(find .. -name \\*-ghc7.6.3.so); do" <$>
But that's just cosmetic :-)
I think it is time now to test all this from A to Z! So I would suggest to also create a `dynlinking` branch on the `habs` repository that would contain the GHC's changes (add a `haskell.conf` file, add a call to `ldconfig` in the PKGBUILD). This will let people (or at least us, I don't know if any other person is following this thread ;) the opportunity to test the proposal completely, from the build of GHC to the use of built executables and libraries, with both habs and cblrepo proposed changes.
I'm currently attempting to re-build all of the packages with these changes in place. You can try them out by adding the following (temporary) repo:
[haskell-testing] Server = http://xsounds.org/~haskell/testing/\$arch
I've abandoned this attempt at the moment. I got stuck on building gtk. I haven't looked closely at it, but it seems to build some helper binary as a first step, before building the package itself. This helper refused to link properly with dynamic libs. I don't really have time or patience to conduct such a major rebuild at this point in time. If someone else feels strongly about this and want to spend some time on it, I'll be happy to give any pointers regarding how to get as far as I did. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus The British have "the perfect temperament to be hackers--technically skilled, slightly disrespectful of authority, and just a touch of criminal behavior". -- Mary Ann Davidson, Oracle's Security Chief
