#8683: add "cpp program" and "cpp program options" to settings file -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: carter | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.8.1-rc2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: #8439 -------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by carter): just rebased it (I think i did the rebase correctly, but I have no clueeee) theres two parts to this patch 1) making ghc have its CPP settable / configable in the settings file. This seems work 2) allowing ghc to be built with different CC and CPP. this doesn't quite work, but it does allow use to set it explicitly, and initializes the right fields in settings, but theres CPP stuff lying all around the build system that i'm still unfamiliar with and haven't been address here. this also add --with-cpp and --with-cpp-flags flags to configure currently for building things, -with-cpp and with-gcc need to point to the same program or various bugs in the build system start creeping up! It also seems to have surfaced at least one new race condition in the build system. I will try to dig into that more later. What i also need to finally test properly is if the resulting ghc can handle its settings file being pointed to cpphs Also i thought i had added logic to handle cpphs as a cpp option, but it looks like i lost track of that commit -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8683#comment:32 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
