#6086: Cross compilation fails using system linker for other architecture binaries ----------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: mtjm | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 7.8.4 Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: arm Type of failure: Building GHC failed | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Revisions: | ----------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Comment (by rwbarton): libgmp should be being configured with `--host=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi`. I think this is a bug in the build system and currently you probably just want to use integer-simple instead. I don't think `make quick-cross` actually does anything... you should set up a `build.mk` (copied from `build.mk.sample`) and add `INTEGER_LIBRARY = integer-simple`. I think pretty much any `BuildFlavour` should work but note that the `quick-cross` and `perf-cross` flavours only build a ''cross-compiler'' and not a ''cross-compiled compiler'' that runs on the target. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/6086#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
