#14483: getExecutablePath from System.Environment in base should follow symlinks properly. -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: angerman | Owner: alpmestan Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): D4227 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by alpmestan): And here is a patch in which I switch ghc/ghc-pkg to using `getExecutablePath` when built with a recent enough `base`: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D4229 Eventually, in a few major versions, we'll be able to get rid of the `base < 4.11` code path and simply use `getExecutablePath`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14483#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
