Re: FFI library error building GHC

20 Sep 2014


      Symlinking lib64 to lib didn't seem to work, I think the directory is
getting cleared before build. But if I copy the contents of lib64 to lib
after the build fails and then type make again, ghc compiles!

Thanks for the workaround, hopefully a real fix will be found soon enough :)

While this is not a proper fix. Assuming there is no no lib folder, and
the proper lib is in lib64, does: symlinking lib64 to lib and continuing
with make solve the issue?

Yep, I reported this same build error for NixOS on x86_64, unfortunately
I haven't found any way to solve it. Reverting the commit that upgrades to
libffi-3.1 still showed this issue. I'd love to see this fixed, as I am
unable to do any development on GHC until it's fixed :(

Could you check if you had any other libffi.a or (any other .a) file for
that matter in the
libffi folder?  I have the suspicion that the new libffi builds the
archives for some platforms into different target folders, as someone on
irc mentioned that for nix, there was a lib64 folder or so, and hence the
libffi.a was in libffi/build/inst/lib64/libffi.a iirc.

I keep getting this error. Can anyone help? I tried removing the file
as suggested, but it made no difference.

libffi/stamp.ffi.static-shared.install exists, but
libffi/build/inst/lib/libffi.a does not.
Suggest removing libffi/stamp.ffi.static-shared.install.
