#8266: Dynamic linking on Mac --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: kazu-yamamoto | Owner: Type: bug | thoughtpolice Priority: highest | Status: closed Component: Build System | Milestone: 7.8.1 Resolution: fixed | Version: 7.7 Operating System: MacOS X | Keywords: Type of failure: GHC doesn't work at all | Architecture: Test Case: | Unknown/Multiple Blocking: | Difficulty: Unknown | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by thoughtpolice): Not being able to use the built inplace compiler as if it was a regular compiler is absolutely, 100% a bug. This is a crucial way to test GHC builds IMO without throwing installations everywhere on your `$PATH`, and is particularly useful for stress testing packages, since you can `cabal install -w ~/ghc-src/inplace/bin/ghc-stage2` to have it act normally. This also works on all other platforms. I missed this when I merged that patch. I'll investigate it ASAP. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8266#comment:29 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
