[Hackage] #296: Cabal should tell hsc2hs to use gcc as cc, not ghc
by Hackage 24 Jul '08

#296: Cabal should tell hsc2hs to use gcc as cc, not ghc ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- The version of hsc2hs that gets bundled with ghc uses ghc by default as the C compiler. The benefit is that we can pass `-package` flags through to ghc and have ghc look up the appropriate C includes and other cc options that are supposed to be used with that package. However it also causes no end of problems. For example, we need to know if the version of hsc2hs we're using actually uses ghc underneath or gcc, because if it's ghc then we have to doubly escape all the cc options that we want to pass through to gcc. It also means that when hsc2hs invents extra -F flags it fails because ghc does not understand that flag (see http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2383) The right thing to do is to have Cabal look up the right flags to use from the package database and call hsc2hs with them, using gcc as cc. We do now have access to the package database so that bit is possible. We'll have to find the gcc program which we do not currently do as we use gcc to compile C code. This is closely related to #229. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/296> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects
