#13210: Can't run terminfo code in GHCi on Windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: RyanGlScott | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 8.0.2 (Linker) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects | Unknown/Multiple valid program | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by RyanGlScott): Hm, adding `-lpthread` doesn't seem to work around the issue for me: {{{ $ ../../../Software/ghc/inplace/bin/runghc -lncursesw -lpthread Terminfo.hs GHC runtime linker: fatal error: I found a duplicate definition for symbol ungetch whilst processing object file C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a The symbol was previously defined in (GHCi built-in symbols) This could be caused by: * Loading two different object files which export the same symbol * Specifying the same object file twice on the GHCi command line * An incorrect `package.conf' entry, causing some object to be loaded twice. ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol 'ungetch_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `ungetch_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol 'set_escdelay_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `set_escdelay_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol 'newterm' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `newterm' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol '.refptr._nc_globals' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `.refptr._nc_globals' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol '_nc_err_abort' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `_nc_err_abort' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol 'tparm' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `tparm' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol '.refptr._nc_prescreen' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `.refptr._nc_prescreen' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol '_nc_outch_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `_nc_outch_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol '.refptr._nc_outch_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `.refptr._nc_outch_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol '_nc_scrolln_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `_nc_scrolln_sp' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol '.refptr.SP' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `.refptr.SP' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol '.refptr.cur_term' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `.refptr.cur_term' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol '_nc_ospeed' ghc-stage2.exe: C:\msys64\mingw64\lib\libncursesw.a: unknown symbol `_nc_ospeed' ghc-stage2.exe: Could not on-demand load symbol 'set_curterm' Terminfo.hs: ByteCodeLink: can't find label During interactive linking, GHCi couldn't find the following symbol: set_curterm This may be due to you not asking GHCi to load extra object files, archives or DLLs needed by your current session. Restart GHCi, specifying the missing library using the -L/path/to/object/dir and -lmissinglibname flags, or simply by naming the relevant files on the GHCi command line. Alternatively, this link failure might indicate a bug in GHCi.
