#10032: binary distributions not working --with-system-libffi -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: kgardas | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.11 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #5743 | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): thomie: I'm afraid that due to GHC support for shared libraries and due to OSes shipping their own libffi we kind of need support for system libffi also in binary distribution. I've hit this on Solaris, but the situation on OpenBSD is the same (don't know about Linux): sometimes you can end with the target application binary which is linked against both system and ghc supplied libffi -- IMHO very unlucky situation so I would appreciate kept this open if this does not hurt that much. Thanks! Karel -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10032#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
