#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 kazu-yamamoto): I confirmed that @rpath is not used at this moment. Here is an example: {{{ % otool -L libHSsyb-0.4.1-ghc7.7.20140108.dylib libHSsyb-0.4.1-ghc7.7.20140108.dylib: /Users/kazu/work/ghc-mod/.cabal-sandbox/lib/x86_64-osx- ghc-7.7.20140108/syb-0.4.1/libHSsyb-0.4.1-ghc7.7.20140108.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) }}} But note that this works without any problems. I applied darchon's patch, fully built GHC, and re-install cabal-install with the new GHC and Cabal. Unfortunately, this new cabal-install does now work well. For instance, syb becames: {{{ % otool -L libHSsyb-0.4.1-ghc7.7.20140108.dylib libHSsyb-0.4.1-ghc7.7.20140108.dylib: /private/var/folders/k0/548g5xg90jjfbrj5j09nvwv80000gq/T/syb-0.4.1-34816/syb-0.4.1/dist /dist-sandbox-a0e7ff68/build/libHSsyb-0.4.1-ghc7.7.20140108.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0) }}} So, libraries depending on syb cannot be installed. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8266#comment:36 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
