#8921: ghc-stage2 fails with ld: fatal: library -lrt: not found on topHandler02(profthreaded) test -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: AlainODea | Owner: AlainODea Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Compile-time | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 crash | hour) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by AlainODea): This will break Solaris 9 and earlier. On Solaris 10, OpenSolaris, Illumos, and Solaris 11 librt in libc. I don't think GHC 7.8 can reasonably support Solaris 9 due to issues with porting the needed GCC toolchain. An alternative would be to identify recent Solaris/Illumos operating systems as something other than '''OSSolaris2''' when generating '''GHCConstantsHaskellType'''. That seems far more problematic as it would require changes everywhere '''OSSolaris2''' is used. Doing a similar trick for Solaris 9 and earlier would have the same problem. Solaris 10 was released on 2005-01-31. Solaris 9's latest release is 9/05 which was released on 2005-09-03. I think support for **-profthreaded** on Solaris 9 and earlier can be safely excluded by default. Users who need **--profthreaded** on GHC 7.8+ on those systems can easily reverse this patch in their build process. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8921#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
