#15700: Plugins cause GHC to panic: cannot find dynamic libraries -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sheaf | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: infoneeded Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash or panic | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #15492 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by sheaf): Using any plugin at all triggers the bug, including an empty file e.g. {{{ {-# OPTIONS_GHC -fplugin GHC.TypeLits.Normalise #-} module Bug where }}} I don't know how plugins are set-up to work on Windows, but it doesn't seem like any DLL files are generated when I use plugins in GHC 8.4.3. From what I understand of comment:4, maybe GHC 8.4.3 on Windows could run plugins without using DLLs, whereas GHC 8.6.1 is insisting on using them when it could perhaps do without? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15700#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
