[GHC] #14007: CI builds for integer-simple variant of GHC for Windows
#14007: CI builds for integer-simple variant of GHC for Windows ---------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: varosi | Owner: (none) Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Type of failure: None/Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: ---------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Currently for Haskell production non-open-source software integer-simple builds of GHC for Windows are needed. GMP Integer library is GPL and cannot be used for such production software. Is it possible to make such official builds of GHC? This will stimulate more Haskell as a production language. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14007 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

You can use it as dynamic library, i.e. as .dll in windows, or as .so in linux (e.g. as a standard package). -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14007#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

You're right, it's LGPL. But this means that either will be needed GHC built with dynamic linkage against this library, which will be harder to be distributed. And this doesn't solve that issue in easier way. Currently GHC is not binary distributed by default as a ready to use for proprietary production. May be this should be the title. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14007#comment:2 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

But as I know GHC is meant to be used in more wider context. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14007#comment:3 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
