#15769: GHC 8.6 for macOS depends on homebrew -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: highest | Milestone: 8.6.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.6.1 Keywords: | Operating System: MacOS X Architecture: | Type of failure: Installing GHC Unknown/Multiple | failed Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- I guess the ghc-8.6.1-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.xz is build with homebrew. So, it depends on homebrew's "libgmp". Since I'm using MacPorts, the following error occurs on installation: {{{ % sudo make install "utils/ghc-cabal/dist-install/build/tmp/ghc-cabal-bindist" copy libraries /ghc-prim dist-install "strip" '' '/usr/local/ghc-8.6.1' '/usr/local/ghc-8.6.1/lib/ghc-8.6.1' '/usr/local/ghc-8.6.1/share/doc/ghc-8.6.1/html/libraries' 'v p dyn' dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gmp/lib/libgmp.10.dylib Referenced from: /Users/kazu/Downloads/ghc-8.6.1/libraries/base/dist- install/build/libHSbase-4.12.0.0-ghc8.6.1.dylib Reason: image not found make[1]: *** [install_packages] Abort trap: 6 make: *** [install] Error 2 }}} After make a link from "/usr/local/opt/gmp/lib/libgmp.10.dylib" to "/opt/local/lib/libgmp.10.dylib" installed by MacPorts, the installation succeeds. But when using GHC 8.6.1, the following error occurs: {{{ [15 of 15] Compiling Network.DNS ( Network/DNS.hs, dist/build/Network/DNS.o ) ld: library not found for -lgmp clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) `gcc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1) cab: callCommand: cabal build (exit 1): failed }}} To fix this, the following is necessary: {{{ % export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/local/lib }}} - "/usr/lib" is for "libiconv" and should come first to hide "/opt/local/lib/libiconv" - "/opt/local/lib" is for "libgmp" -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15769 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
