Re: [Haskell-cafe] Cabal bug? (was Re: Cabal: --enable-shared and executables)

Indeed I want to point out that dynamic library locations are already handled differently between OS X and Linux in GHC(-head), not just Cabal: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8266#comment:14 So perhaps there should be a 'proper' fix/design on how to deal with dynamic library location in both GHC and Cabal. -- Christiaan On Nov 4, 2013, at 12:13 AM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

May I note that this is system dependent? OS X compiles in full paths (and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH overrides these, which is part of why it's much more dangerous than Linux's LD_LIBRARY_PATH). On the other end, I don't think Windows has much of an RPATH mechanism at all.
