#15112: ghc 8.4.2 on OS X: clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-nopie' ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: elaforge | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.4.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | ---------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Changes (by goldfire): * priority: normal => highest * milestone: 8.8.1 => 8.6.1 Comment: I'm going to bump the priority here. I just downloaded the 8.4.3 (yes, I know, behind the times) binaries for my Mac and installed them with `./configure; make install`. Now, every time I link an executable, I get {{{ clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-nopie' [-Wunused- command-line-argument] }}} I downloaded straight from `downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.4.3`. As comment:7 suggests, if I adjust the `settings` file, all is well. It seems easy enough to fix this, and we're giving a bad user experience without this fix. If you disagree with my priority bump (either because, say, there's something unique about my setup which makes my experience atypical; or because this is actually hard to fix and shouldn't be a release blocker) feel free to reverse my actions. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15112#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
