#10955: GHC on windows does not resolve DLL dependencies -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: Phyx- | Owner: Phyx- Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.0.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.10.2 (Linker) | Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Runtime crash | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by thoughtpolice): I proposed quite a while back to actually drop XP support: https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2014-November/007199.html Personally, I say we go for it. Of course, some people might not like this, but I think dropping XP for 8.0 is pretty reasonable. Even Windows Server 2k3 is EOL now, and we won't be releasing for a few months still. And it's not like 7.10 or whatever will stop existing. At the very least, if you can cook up a patch and people rally against it, we can apply it to HEAD and just say 8.2 will definitively remove it and that's that. But I imagine it would be fine for 8.0 as well. In short, you have my permission to use the launch codes, and nuke it from orbit. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/10955#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
