#2459: can't link haskell without "main" function, or -no-hs-main broken on windows? -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jvl | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: lowest | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Driver | Version: 6.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): It seems the first issue is fixed. Without `-no-hs-main` we get a link error, as expected: {{{ $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.10.3 $ ghc -c -o MyHelloWorld.o MyHelloWorld.hs $ ghc -o hello.exe mymain.c MyHelloWorld.o -fforce-recomp C:\msys64\tmp\ghc5784_0\ghc_4.o:ghc_3.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `main' }}} With `-no-hs-main` it works: {{{ $ ghc -c -o MyHelloWorld.o MyHelloWorld.hs $ ghc -no-hs-main -o hello.exe mymain.c MyHelloWorld.o -fforce-recomp $ ./hello.exe Hello World }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2459#comment:17 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
