#12200: ghc-pkg check complains about missing libCffi on dynamic-only install -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dudebout | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: ghc-pkg | Version: 7.10.2 Keywords: libCffi | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- After installing the Linux (x86_64) version of ghc 7.10.2, I removed all the .a files as I was interested in a dynamic libraries only install. Everything works fine but ghc-pkg check fails with the following error: cannot find any of ["libCffi.a","libCffi.p_a","libCffi-ghc7.10.2.so ","libCffi-ghc7.10.2.dylib","Cffi-ghc7.10.2.dll"] on library path Adding a symbolic link from lib/ghc-7.10.2/rts/libffi.so to lib/ghc-7.10.2/rts/libCffi-ghc7.10.2.so silences that warning. I am not sure that this is the correct way to handle this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12200 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
