#188: Support building Objective-C modules ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.2.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: unknown Ghcversion: 6.8.1 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by mokus): A more sophisticated system would probably be a good long-term solution to this type of situation, but in the interim I think a nice neat solution is to provide a means of telling Cabal "look, I made this .o! Put it in, coach!" For GHC <6.10, this is already what HOC does, in a very kludgy way. It compiles the Objective C sources, then tells cabal that the resulting object file is a "c-source". That dirty little trick relies on GHC just ignoring the .o file when told to compile it as a C source. If we could say something like "intermediate-objects: HOC_cbits.o"in the cabal file it would take a little bit of the kludge out of it, and more importantly (to HOC users at least) it would allow HOC to build. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/188#comment:6 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
