Providing -fPIC (thanks Igloo :)) solves the "local relocation entries" coming form the FFI stubs ... ... but uncovers yet a worse error. Now I get the "local relocation entries" from libHStemplate-haskell.a . Why doens't that library have position independent code? A way to fix the error would be using the -dynamic flag, but for some reason my OSX build doesn't have doesn't seem to have the dynamic libraries. The concrete error is "ld: can't locate file for: -lHShaskell98_dyn" On 11/22/06, Alfonso Acosta <alfonso.acosta@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I succesfully created dynamic loadable libraries (.so) with GHC6.6 under LinuxX86 using some C glue code and linking with -optl -shared.

Now I would like to port my code to OSX but linking with "-optl -bunde" fails giving a "local relocation entries in non-writable section" error.

I think that is becase under OSX, GHC calls gcc with -mdynamic-no-pic preventing my FFI stub object files to be linked.

Does anyone know why is -mdynamic-no-pic used or a workaround?

Thanks in advance,
