I expect there's a decision being made about whether to link dynamically
#8376: Static Executable + GHC API (+ Dynamic Linking?) gives Segfault ----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Reporter: darchon | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: Runtime crash | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------+---------------------------------- Comment (by darchon): Replying to [comment:2 simonmar]: based on `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS` rather than whether the program was compiled with `-dynamic` or not. The `haddock` executables referred to in the bug report are built using a `cabal install`; they do not refer to a `haddock` executable build during a `make` in the `ghc` build-tree. I'm not building `haddock` during my build of `ghc` (ref. the `HADDOCK_DOCS=NO` in my `build.mk`). And I assume the `DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS` has no effect on the dynamic- linking decision made by `cabal`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8376#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
