#9832: Get rid of PERL dependency of `ghc-split` ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: Phyx- Type: task | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Driver | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: perl Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #8405 | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment (by Phyx-): As I understood `--gc-sections` doesn't currently work on Windows due to a binutils bug. So we can't actually use it yet. Also I'm not sure the linker script issue has been solved, it's just been turned off because `--gc-sections` doesn't work anyway. So the PERL script is still there AFAIK, afterwards this issue can probably be about actually removing the script and perl bindist? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9832#comment:19 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
