#8781: check if GNU nm is really needed and if so let configure detect gnm ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: maeder | Owner: kgardas Type: feature request | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.1-rc1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Solaris | Architecture: x86 Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: ----------------------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by kgardas): Thanks for investigation. In its light, have you changed your attitude to my proposed patch? I'm afraid that if we're going to support several nm output formats, then either the code looks like you criticize or we need to employ some Haskell library for parsing which I'm not sure if it's not over-kill in this simple case. I'm curious how things work on MacOSX or *BSDs. IIRC On Windows we're using GNU tools and no other commercial UNIX besides Solaris looks supported... -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8781#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
