#7917: update documentation of InstalledPackageInfo -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: Lemming | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Component: Documentation Version: 7.6.3 | Keywords: Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Failure: None/Unknown | Blockedby: Blocking: | Related: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- When writing a binding to a foreign package that does not support pkg- config, it seems to be essential to know what the fields of InstalledPackageInfo precisely mean. I find the current description in section 4.9.8 of the GHC doc too short. What does extra-ghci-libraries mean? It is undocumented. In which field I should list shared objects? In which field I should enumerate static link libraries? Which libraries are used when compiling with -dynamic option and which ones are used for static linking? Are the library paths used both for static and dynamic link libraries? Which fields affect compilation of included C files? Which fields affect GHCi and which ones affect GHC? -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7917 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
