#589: FreeBSD compiles should automatically add --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/lib ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: markstos | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.8.2 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- FreeBSD stores a number of standard things in /usr/local/lib, such as the 'curl' libraries that darcs needs to compile against. Cabal should detect that FreeBSD is the platform and look in this lib directory automatically.
