Re: [arch-haskell] Build error with lekash on archlinux when using cabal2arch

13 May 2011


      Oh no, I understood that perfectly. Technically speaking its an issue with
the cabal package file, although I have no idea if this is something cabal
package maintainers should be responsible for or if this is a side effect of
PKGBUILD supporting profiling

Well I didn't explicitly turn on profiling as an environment variable,
but
in any case filepath ships with GHC so that wouldn't fix anything (unless
you wanted to use cabal2arch on filepath and have to rebuild the cache
for
GHC)
I may have been unclear (forgive me if I'm mistaken in believing I
haven't quite gotten my point across).  Here's the situation as I see
it:
• GHC ships with static libs, shared libs, and static libs for
 profiling (it's missing shared libs for profiling)
• cabal2arch generates a PKGBUILD that compiles static libs, shared
 libs and static libs for profiling
• Leksah turns on profiling when compiling shared libs
What you need to do is modify Leksah's cabal such that it *doesn't*
turn on profiling when compiling the shared libs.

Also I am not compiling leksah with profiling, I am just using
cabal2arch
on
the standard leksah package on
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/leksah/0.10.0.4/leksah.cabal
cabal2arch will create a PKGBUILD that supports profiling (you turn it
on using an environment variable) and it always turns on building of
shared libraries.
