#14444: Linker limit on OS X Sierra breaks builds for big projects -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dredozubov | Owner: angerman Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.2.1 (Linking) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by jship): We have worked around this issue by following in the Nix folks' footsteps and using a wrapper script around `ld` to recursively subdivide the dependencies into a tree of re-exporting delegate libraries. The script, an example using aosivitz repro, and more info about this issue is available here: https://github.com/Simspace/ld-wrapper-macos The example in the repo shows how the wrapper script can be used to successfully build a project with 750 direct dependencies. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14444#comment:19 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
