#398: better support for static linking ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: normal | Ghcversion: 6.8.3 Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Generating statically linked binaries on different platforms requires a bit of knowledge about what flags to pass to ghc. It would be nice to just be able to `cabal configure --enable-static-executable` or something and have that pass the extra `-optl-static` and whatever ghc options are required. If it's not possible to generate static binaries it should make some attempt at explaining why. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/398 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
