Re: [Hackage] #347: findProgramVersion fails with Debian's gcc

#347: findProgramVersion fails with Debian's gcc ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: ross | Owner: Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: fixed Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by duncan): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Hopefully this patch fixed it: {{{ Sun Aug 31 15:01:45 PDT 2008 Duncan Coutts * Use a hopefully more robust method of determining the gcc version }}} We now call `gcc -dumpversion` rather than interpreting the output of `gcc --version`. I've checked `gcc -dumpversion` on all the platforms I have access to (including debian, ubuntu and solaris) and it produces consistent results. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/347#comment:1 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
