#14483: getExecutablePath from System.Environment in base should follow symlinks properly. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: angerman | Owner: alpmestan Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): D4227 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by alpmestan): * status: new => patch * differential: => D4227 Comment: I have a patch that improves the windows implementation of `getExecutablePath` so that it follows symlinks at https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4227 -- feedback welcome. This however does not change ghc, ghc-pkg and hsc2hs to use `getExecutablePath` (instead of the current duplicated code that does something equivalent). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14483#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
