Hi Kazu, It turns out this was an error on my part - thank you for pointing it out. I've confirmed this exists with the current RC2 bindist. My apologies. We'll be syncing the Cabal submodule with the newest Cabal release once Johan pushes it out, so this shouldn't happen again. Thanks! On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 7:31 PM, Kazu Yamamoto wrote:

Hi Austin,

We've closed approximately 45 tickets that people filed for RC1 in this release. Thank you for all the reports!

Good work!

We plan to make the final 7.8.1 release soon, and hope RC2 will be the last RC. So *please* test as much as possible; bugs are much cheaper if we find them before the release!

Unfortunately, ghc-7.8.0.20140228-src does not have: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/commit/ee6d1cf5cefe18f6d74ed379af21d92f8b0a...

So, ghc-7.8.0.20140228-x86_64-apple-darwin-mavericks does not use @rpath:

Hello,

No, looks like a GHC issue.

@mark, theres no runtime detection logic patch, theres just a config time hack currently. I've a work in progress partial patch to expose the CPP program choice + flags into the ghc settings file, https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8683 , but lifes got me a bit overloaded these past few weeks so we need someone to "own" finishing it up (and i'm uncertain if i can hard allocate that time this week or next... i have some personal obligations that need take priority). That said, I may find up finding some time to whack on it more point being, agreed, the wrapper hack aint ok :) On Tue, Mar 4, 2014 at 9:57 AM, Mark Lentczner wrote:

It looks like the Mac builds are specific to the version of Mac OS X they were compiled on. This is very unfortunate, as now we'll have to produce at least four variants of HP for each.

The only thing holding back a build on either Maverricks or Mountain Lion (10.9 and 10.8) from working on 10.7 ~ 10.9 is the set of flags passed to the c compiler. On a machine with only clang, these need three extra flags.

I had thought that there was a patch that allowed GCC to dynamically determine if it was working with clang, and if so, pass the extra flags. It didn't look like that patch made it in. I seem to have lost track of who did this patch and it's status. Carter: do you remember?

For the platform, I might be able to patch around this with a variant of my ghc-clang-wrapper script - beefing it up to remove those flags if not clang.

Ghc 7.8 supports only cabal 1.18 Could you try using the boot strap script for getting new cabal install on your system? If not, Austin probably has a cabal-install binary lying around for his windows testing On Friday, March 7, 2014, José Pedro Magalhães wrote:

We are pleased to announce the second release candidate for GHC 7.8.1:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.1-rc2/ http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.8.1-rc2/html/

This includes the source tarball and binary distributions for Windows, Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, and Solaris, on x86 and x86_64, and more. There are now two binary builds for Linux users: one for glibc 2.12 and GMP 4, primarily intended for RHEL users, and one built for glibc 2.13 and GMP 5 - intended for Debian and more recent machines.

In addition, there is also an iOS cross compiler build (both in the native ARM configuration and i386 simulator configurations), separate Solaris 10 and Solaris 11 builds - the latter supporting dynamic linking - and a new Linux/PPC64 build using glibc 2.18/GMP 5. There is a signed copy of the SHA256 hashes available (attached) using my GPG key (keyid 0x3B58D86F).

We're also now offering .tar.xz files, which roughly cut the size of the binary distributions in half compared to bzip2.

We've closed approximately 45 tickets that people filed for RC1 in this release. Thank you for all the reports!

Woooops. I misread the earlier email. Did you wipe your .ghc dir and cabal/config files after updating to cabal-install 1.18? It could be a stale cabal config that has shared set to false or something? On Friday, March 7, 2014, José Pedro Magalhães wrote:

Cabal-1.18.1.3 and cabal-install-1.18.0.3, released a couple of days ago, have some GHC 7.8 specific fixes. I don't know if those will help your issue though. On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 3:41 PM, José Pedro Magalhães wrote:
