#8596: Add support for "reponse files" to workaround Windows command line length limitations -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: joeyhess | Owner: snoyberg Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10777 #9685 | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by snoyberg): Yes, the problem is that the GCC toolchain that ships with GHC 7.10 does not itself use response files internally when calling itself for linking. We diagnosed this here, including a short-term (hacky) fix: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack/issues/795#issuecomment-134758338 In order to get this included in GHC 7.10.3, https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10726 has been set to merge status. Once that's backported, the ghc-7.10 branch should just work. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8596#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
