#8683: add "cpp program" and "cpp program options" to settings file -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #8439 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by carter): The patch nearly works, I'm having trouble getting m4/autconf to work quite right, could someone who's more familiar with it chime in? I *think* once the stuff involving {{{ "$WhatIsHaskellCPPCalled"}}} and {{{ "$WhatAreCPPFlags" }}} is fixed. I'm somehow not using the autconf quite correctly to properly instantiate the CPP cmd and CPP Flags fields of settings correctly. Some help would be appreciated! i've also done a test build where i by hand set {{{ ("Haskell CPP command","/Users/carter/bin/gcc"), ("Haskell CPP flags","-E -undef -traditional" ), }}} in my "settings" file after the configure step ran to validate the rest of the build process, and that works (ie testing that if i set it by hand, the new /DynFlags.hs etc logic behaves correctly). Namely that I manage to get stage2 to build correctly sooo, I think all thats left is figuring out what i'm doing wrong on the m4/ autoconf front -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8683#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
