I need to force a library to be searched for unresolved symbols after all other libraries have been searched, and I would rather not resort to constructing the linker command line directly. Is there a way to do this?
i.e. I want for example -lfoo to appear after all other haskell libraries and before system libraries (for example -lmsvcrt) once ghc has constructed the link command. i.e. how is it possible to coerce ghc into respecting dependencies between the libraries. GHC does a good job in general with native libraries, but there are allways corner cases.
I have a feeling this is not possible, but it dosn't hurt to ask.
If you don't get a reply then ask on the ghc users mailing list.
