#8156: amd64 + in-tree gmp build broken -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: errge | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: patch Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Building GHC | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 failed | hour) Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #4022 #4366 #4374 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jstolarek): Errge, I don't know much about linking libraries, so I don't fully understand all that you wrote. Hence my question: would this patch allow us to build a binary distribution of GHC in such a way that it does not depend on a specific version of GMP being installed in the system? If yes then I fully support having this. Dependency of specific version of GMP is a major pain. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8156#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
