I tried recompiling a little (big?) Win32 binding library I had made, when the official one wasn't working for me. It had a bunch of generated stubs files in it (I'm not 100% sure what they are for). The problem is that, not even with -fforce-recomp (much better name, thanx!) will GHC regenerate those files (I think that's normal), but still it tries to use them if they are there. I get errors like these:
I think you are encountering this bug:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/706
workaround: delete the old stub files.
Yes, as I said, that workaround works.
However, the description of the bug is incorrect. It picks up the _stub.c files, not the _stub.o files, and it picks them up even if the file is recompiled (and didn't re-generate the _stub.c file).
Bug updated. Thanx!
Now I'm surprised. I understood bug #706 as it was, I understand the cause and how to fix it. But I don't know how GHC could be recompiling the _stub.c files. There could be two bugs here. If you could supply us with a repro case, that would be very helpful (please attach it to the ticket). Cheers, Simon
