#9549: deriveConstants fails on OpenBSD -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: roland | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build | Version: 7.9 System | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: OpenBSD | Difficulty: Unknown Type of failure: Building | Blocked By: GHC failed | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): Hi Roland, I'm afraid replacing nm with objdump is too invasive change. Few months ago various Solaris users including myself were working on extending deriveConstants to work with non-GNU nm and usage of nm -P is what's working on linux, freebsd, windows and solaris. I'm not sure about others but for example objdump is completely missing on Solaris so I would rather prefer to stick to what we do have now in nm functionality. Let me ask, isn't there some other OpenBSD's nm option which may be used to get that working? IMHO not using -P for OpenBSD and/or using some other option is still less invasive change than changing to objdump completely for all other platforms. Thanks for you care about OpenBSD!
