Hi everyone, I’m building a floating-point library for Clash that uses FloPoCo. The library integrates with the MPFR library via the hmpfr Haskell bindings to perform accurate software simulations of floating-point operations. I’ve encountered build errors related to linking the MPFR library: Windows: unknown symbol 'mpfr_add' in Arithmetic.o. Linux: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol 'mpfr_custom_get_size_wrap'. Interestingly, cabal repl works as expected, but cabal build fails. This suggests a linking issue specific to the build process. Steps to Reproduce Clone the repository: https://github.com/yourcomrade/FloPoCoFloat. Install MPFR: Windows: pacman -S mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-mpfr Linux: sudo apt install libmpfr6 libmpfr-dev Check out the Error_branch. Build the project using cabal build. Expected Behavior The project should compile without errors. Notably, if cabal build fails, I would expect cabal repl to fail too, but that’s not the case. Additional Info OS: Windows 11, Ubuntu WSL 5.15 Tools: GHC 9.8.2, Cabal 3.10.3, GCC 11.4 Relevant discussion: Cabal issue: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/10651 I have a discussion with Cabal maintainer and he suspects that is GHC linking issue. Does anyone have insights into resolving this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Kind regards, Minh
