#11042: Template Haskell / GHCi does not respect extra-lib-dirs -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mboes | Owner: Type: bug | Status: infoneeded Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.10.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Compile-time | Unknown/Multiple crash | Test Case: Blocked By: 11238 | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10458 #5289 | Differential Rev(s): #12753 | Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by trommler): Replying to [comment:18 rwbarton]:
But currently GHC's dynamic linker mimics the behavior of the (static) RTS linker and would load `libz.so` before it loads `libHSzlib<...>.so`.
Do you know why this is? In `compiler/ghci/Linker.hs` `linkPackage` all dependencies of a package are linked before we even learn whether the package is in a shared library or an archive. That is probably the reason, but I don't know for sure. If we could just not do this, it might fix this issue, right? Yes, that would fix this issue.
I'm going to reopen this but mark as infoneeded, though I don't mind much if it ends up being closed again. Hmm, should I prepare a patch that implements the fix described here?
