GHC linker error 8.8.4 Windows

Hi, Suddenly started getting the following linker error after I moved code around in my project. It only seems to occur when I am building one specific cabal test target. When building a dependent build it build successfully but cabal repl test-xxx fails. I have no consistent way to repro but I will keep trying and file a defect..

Hi, On Windows, GHC embeds GMP (the C library) directly into the integer-gmp package. So you mustn't try to link against another libgmp library to avoid duplicated symbol errors (as the one you've got). It may be that you have a dependency of this specific test (or the test itself) that has the following stanza in its Cabal file: "extra-libraries: gmp" Regards, Sylvain On 17/11/2020 13:20, Sumit Raja wrote:
