#8520: ghc.exe: internal error: loadArchive: error whilst reading `C' ----------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: awson | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Runtime crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by awson): The culprit is, I think, you didn't use --split-objs (--enable-split-objs for cabal-install) when building packages Agda depends on. I always test things to work with --split-objs. When I had rebuilt a couple of packages with no --split-objs flag this bug "moved further down": {{{ [ 86 of 258] Compiling Agda.TypeChecking.Monad.Base[boot] ( src\full\Agda\TypeChecking\Monad\Base.hs-boot, dist\build\Agda\TypeChecking\Monad\Base.o-boot ) [ 87 of 258] Compiling Agda.Interaction.Response[boot] ( src\full\Agda\Interaction\Response.hs-boot, dist\build\Agda\Interaction\Response.o-boot ) [ 88 of 258] Compiling Agda.Interaction.FindFile[boot] ( src\full\Agda\Interaction\FindFile.hs-boot, dist\build\Agda\Interaction\FindFile.o-boot ) [ 89 of 258] Compiling Agda.Syntax.Abstract ( src\full\Agda\Syntax\Abstract.hs, dist\build\Agda\Syntax\Abstract.o ) Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
