#9421: Problems and workarounds when installing and using a 32bit GHC on 64bit Linux machine -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: | Owner: MikolajKonarski MikolajKonarski | Status: new Type: bug | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.8.3 Component: Compiler | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Operating System: Linux | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: Installing | Blocked By: GHC failed | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by MikolajKonarski): Replying to [comment:9 rwbarton]: Thank you for your feedback. I've updated the wiki page. Re anticipating setting for all possible systems, how would it hurt, if i386 GHC, whenever if detected that TARGET /= HOST, always kept setting something like {{{ --ghc-option="-optc-m32" --ghc-option="-opta-m32" --ghc-option="-optl-m32" --ld-option="-melf_i386" }}} It's not x86_64 specific, at least, isn't it? As a default, it's less clean but more effective than the optimistic empty list of options. Thank you for the {{{lib/settings}}} suggestion. I will try that and report here. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9421#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
