#8713: Avoid libraries if unneeded (librt, libdl, libpthread) -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ip1981 | Owner: Type: bug | Status: upstream Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Other | Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) Type of failure: GHCi crash | Difficulty: Moderate (less Test Case: | than a day) Blocking: | Blocked By: Differential Revisions: | Related Tickets: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): Hi Igor, thanks for the patch. I'm looking into it and I'm curious if it may be solved by other way. Please what's OS is exactly detected by {{{ $ sh config.guess }}} I'm curious since if it is Solaris than this should be improved to handle Dyson specifically since I think Solaris kernel + GNU libc is not Solaris anymore. And if it is not Solaris than at least patch to DriverPipeline.hs may be done in a little bit more clean way. I don't like using this #ifdef in parameters list construction. If you add proper support for OSDyson, then you can add OSDyson *BSDs, Darwin etc. and be done with this bit in more clean way IMHO. But well, the crucial question is how the OS is identified by config.guess...BTW: generally speaking I hope I'm right here but GHC devs tries to get rid of platform configuration related #ifdefs in the code and use proper Haskell handling of this. In your patch you reverts this goal and this is not good IMHO. :-) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8713#comment:15 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
