#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: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Changes (by kgardas): * status: new => patch Comment: Attached patch fixes that. It basically enhances deriveConstants utility to also support Solaris' nm program. Christian please test it. I've tested it here on Solaris 11.1 and Solaris 10 update 8. I'm using PATH which is set to Single Unix Specification 3 standard, that means nm is taken from /usr/xpg4/bin directory -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8781#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
