#8781: check if GNU nm is really needed and if so let configure detect gnm ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: maeder | Owner: kgardas Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by maeder): Somehow my comment for OS X got lost. The patches are not yet working on OS X. "nm -V" fails on Mac. The third word is the size and leading underscores must be ignored. I'll provide a patch checking for "C" in the second word and extracting the size from the third word. (For GNU nm the third and last words are identical.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8781#comment:14 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
