Re: Determining GHC version use to compile an executable?

ravi:

I was wondering if there was a clever way to determine the GHC version that was used to compile a particular executable. I looked in the RTS flags and didn't see anything obvious, but I was wondering if I missed something or if there was a clever back door. It's not a big deal if there isn't but, if there is, it might help me diagnose a problem.

Someting like: $ strings myHaskell.exe | sed -n '/^[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]/p' 6.9.20070916 Might work. E.g.: $ strings `which xmonad` | sed -n '/^[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]/p' 6.9.20070916 $ strings `which hmp3` | sed -n '/^[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9]/p' 6.6.1 Cheers, Don
