#8266: Dynamic linking on Mac --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: highest | Milestone: 7.8.1 Component: Build System | Version: 7.7 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: MacOS X | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC doesn't work at all | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by darchon): Could you elaborate 'this issue'? Do you mean, does the current situation (with my previous patch, f213e48447050bf468bc4d91fc4d810402c23b85/ghc, already committed) result in a non-working GHC install for 'normal' users? The answer to that would be _no_, the current situation is just fine for the largest part of the user- base of GHC. If you mean, that you cannot properly use `inplace/bin/ghc-stage2` in combination with `cabal-install`, which matters to both GHC developers/hackers and those wanting bleeding-edge GHC? Then the answer would be _yes_, the way dynamic libraries are set up with my previous patch do not work well with `cabal -w inplace/bin/ghc-stage2`. My _new_ patch, attached as `8266_MachO_same_as_ELF.patch`, is just there to solve the latter issue. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8266#comment:45 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
