#5063: unix package has untracked dependency on libbsd ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: duncan | Owner: trommler Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 7.10.1 Component: | Version: 7.0.3 libraries/unix | Keywords: Resolution: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Operating System: | Difficulty: Moderate (less than a day) Unknown/Multiple | Blocked By: Type of failure: Other | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | ----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Changes (by trommler): * owner: => trommler * difficulty: => Moderate (less than a day) * milestone: 7.6.2 => 7.10.1 * failure: None/Unknown => Other Comment: I think {{{libutil.h}}} and the dependency on {{{libutil.so}}} can be avoided using {{{posix_openpt}}} instead of {{{openpty}}}. The former is specified in POSIX.1-2001 and is available on FreeBSD, Linux, OSX and Solaris 10 according to Stevens and Rago, Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment. I will work on a patch. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5063#comment:9 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
