#318: Library cannnot be used when registered in-place on OS X ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.8 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.4.0.1 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: easy (<4 hours) Ghcversion: 6.8.3 | Platform: Mac OS ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): So it looks like we should be using the flags `as -r -s -c` on all platforms. According to the GNU, Solaris and OSX man pages these flags are ok. The mingw version of `ar` also seems to support them. The only reason to use the `-q` flag appears to be if we're having to call `ar` many times due to command line length limitations, in which case the first time we should use `-q -c`, the intermediate times `-q` and the final time `-r -s`. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/318#comment:10 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
