#318: Library cannnot be used when registered in-place on OS X ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: cabal-install tool | Version: 1.4.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: Mac OS ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Old description:
I built and registered a library --inplace using cabal-install on Mac OS X 10.5.4 using cabal-install 0.5.1 and Cabal 1.4.0.1. I was unable to then use the package afterwards. It failed at link-time with:
{{{ Linking Main ... ld: in /... blah .../lib/dist/build/lib-0.1.a, archive has no table of contents collect2: ld returned 1 exit status }}}
After talking to Beelsebob and dcoutts on #haskell, I used '''ranlib''' on lib-0.1.a, and it worked.
According to dcoutts: "it's because we run ranlib when we install it, but not when we first generate it."
