#8266: Dynamic linking on Mac --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC doesn't work at all | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by duncan): I have to say this makes me very nervous. Cabal does not currently support relocatable packages at all, and a little patch like this is not enough to make it do so. There were at the time good reasons to specify the final install location and so we will need to see if those reasons are no longer valid (e.g. OSX linker features have improved and no longer need to support older OSX releases). Am I correct in thinking that this only affects people using ghc inplace in the build tree? -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8266#comment:42 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
