Hi all, update: compilition was possible with the undocumented flag: --ghc-options -dynamic so: cabal install cpphs --ghc-options -dynamic I found it in a reddit-post (https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/6nlglg/arch_haskell/) But I'm still not sure, what I have done with ghc and cabal :-( Greetings Jürgen Op Fri, 11 Aug 2017 22:11:54 +0200 lists0@freea2a.de schreef:

Helle dear readers,

at the moment I'm not able to compile the most things with cabal/ghc.

For example: cabal install cpphs

gives

Linking dist/build/cpphs/cpphs ... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHStext-1.2.2.2-3ENqlljngKa6xj1Go2fVWq

I have read that Arch linux has changed haskell to use dynamic linking, and I have installed the new packet "ghc-static" with static libraries.

How can I switch between static and dynamic linking in cabal and what are the preconditions? Where can I give the directories for searching for haskell-libraries?

Thank you in advance for help.

Jürgen
