#10601: GHC should be distributed with debug symbols -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bitonic | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thomie): This requires a little more work than just adding `GhcRtsHcOpts += -g` and `GhcLibHcOpts += -g` to `mk/config.mk.in`. What is also needed is to no strip debug symbols from the libraries when running 'make install', but to only do that when running 'make install- strip'. Currently, ghc-cabal tells Cabal to strip the libraries on installation (with `--strip-unneeded`), unless `STRIP_CMD = :`. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10601#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
