#10096: Top-level ./configure should accept and propagate --with- curses-{includes,libraries} to libraries -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: PHO | Owner: Type: feature | Status: new request | Milestone: Priority: normal | Version: 7.11 Component: Build | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple System | Type of failure: None/Unknown Keywords: | Blocked By: Architecture: | Related Tickets: #7472 Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- If curses is installed into some non-standard path, we currently have to say something like the following in `mk/build.mk`: {{{ libraries/terminfo_CONFIGURE_OPTS += \ --configure-option=--with-curses-includes=/somewhere/include \ --configure-option=--with-curses-libraries=/somewhere/lib }}} This is because the top-level `configure` does not accept nor propagate `--with-curses-{includes,libraries}` to libraries while it does so for iconv, gmp and libffi. It would be nice if curses were handled in the same manner. I will soon submit a patch for this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10096 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
