Issues with static linking of a C ".a" library with cabal

Hi everyone, I'm hitting a number of roadblocks while trying to embed a ".a" file (and its headers) in Haskell code. The setup is the following: I have a bindings library that handles all of the cAPI FFI declarations, and a consumer that does not directly depend on the underlying C library. As such, I use a combination of extra-bundled-libraries, include-dirs and install-includes stanzas in my cabal file: elifflag(bundled-libsodium) extra-bundled-libraries: Csodium include-dirs: include install-includes: include/sodium.h include/sodium/core.h include/sodium/crypto_aead_aes256gcm.h […] (full file here: https://github.com/haskell-cryptography/libsodium-bindings/blob/37-libsodium...) It all seemed to work on my day-to-day system, but further tests on a system that did not have libsodium installed system-wide showed that there's still a missing part: |/usr/bin/ld.gold:error:cannotfind-lsodium collect2:error:ldreturned1exitstatus `gcc'failedinphase`Linker'.(Exitcode:1)| At this point I am simply baffled, because I thought that I had the right invocation for all of this to work. What else can I do? Am I missing something obvious? I have opened a ticket here with a bit more details: https://github.com/haskell/cabal/issues/9509 Cheers, Hécate -- Hécate ✨ 🐦: @TechnoEmpress IRC: Hecate WWW:https://glitchbra.in RUN: BSD
