#7806: Dynamic linking and libffi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Build System Version: 7.7 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: Installing GHC failed | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: #7686 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Changes (by trommler): * cc: ptrommler@… (added) * related: => #7686 Comment: The issue "Mac with system libffi" is a duplicate of #7686. A patch for #7686 is currently under review. The two issues "without system libffi" were solved in Linux by adding an ELF rpath/runpath to the library if a library was not installed in a linker standard directory. I believe the same would work for any ELF system and IIRC FreeBSD uses ELF, too. Do we have a conditional to check for ELF system (instead of Linux as done now) in our build system? I don't know enough about mach-o to provide a "Mac without system libffi" solution. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7806#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
