Hi,
Is GHC required to be installed on the target OS I compile Haskell binaries for in order for these binaries to run? I need a quick answer on that! Because you need a quick answer I will give you an incomplete one:
No, of course not. Depends on architecture though. You need some runtime dependencies (libraries such readline ).. using ghc-pkg describe you can find them (or readelf should list them as well) You need ghc if your applicattions use the ghc library. Running x86 on x86_64 won't work (although you can bootstrap ghc itself using C-files only, But I've never tried this.. There is -f-viaC as well. ) Marc
