Hi, to start off, I'm using ldap-haskell straight from its darcs repo under GHC-6.4.1, and it works. Just not quite like I want. First, I can't make a static compile: $ ghc --make prog.hs -o prog works without a warning, while $ ghc --make prog.hs -o prog -optl -static [...] /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../libldap.a(os-ip.o)(.text+0x38a): In function `ldap_pvt_is_socket_ready': : warning: `sys_errlist' is deprecated; use `strerror' or `strerror_r' instead /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../libldap.a(os-ip.o)(.text+0x381): In function `ldap_pvt_is_socket_ready': : warning: `sys_nerr' is deprecated; use `strerror' or `strerror_r' instead /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../libldap.a(os-ip.o)(.text+0x684): In function `ldap_connect_to_host': : warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../libldap.a(util-int.o)(.text+0x232): In function `ldap_pvt_gethostbyaddr_a': : warning: Using 'gethostbyaddr_r' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../libldap.a(util-int.o)(.text+0x64): In function `ldap_pvt_gethostbyname_a': : warning: Using 'gethostbyname_r' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../libldap.a(open.o)(.text+0x1b7): In function `ldap_create': : undefined reference to `ber_memcalloc' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.5/../../../libldap.a(open.o)(.text+0x26d): In function `ldap_create': : undefined reference to `ber_sockbuf_alloc' [...] (plenty of undefined references elided) If I cut out the LDAP part, the above command creates a static executable just fine. Second, I find no trace of SSL/TLS routines. Is that really left out, or do I overlook something? -- Thanks, Feri.
