#10032: binary distributions not working --with-system-libffi -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: kgardas | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: None/Unknown | Unknown/Multiple Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by trommler): * os: Solaris => Unknown/Multiple Comment: You are right, this is not a Solaris only issue. Building a binary distribution with system libffi has never worked on Linux either. At the time I implemented system libffi support I tried to support binary distributions too but gave up half way through because it was not important for Linux distribution providers. I don't think it is difficult to do. Give me a shout if you need help. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10032#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
