#7929: -pgma and -pgmc flags dont work as expected on mac ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: bug | Status: closed Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: worksforme | Keywords: Os: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Testcase: | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: 7922,7678 ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Changes (by igloo): * status: new => closed * resolution: => worksforme Comment: If you pass GHC the -v flag, then you can see what commands it's running, so you will be able to see the difference between using the `-pgm*` flags and changing the compiler in the `settings` file. I suspect that what you're running into is that using a `-pgmX` flag empties the flag list for `X`, so you will need to use `-optX` flags to add any necessary flags again. This is deliberate, as the current flag list is designed for a different `X`, so you may not want to use these flags with the new `X` (the new `X` may not even support them). If you still think there's a bug, please reopen and give more details about what's happening, and what you think should happen. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7929#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
