Using GHC-as-a-library

Hello all, I've been playing around with GHC-as-a-library a bit now, and using yesterday's snapshot of GHC (ghc-6.5.20061004, compiled from source), I ran into the following problem: When using the Haskell program at the end of this mail, it compiles fine (after exposing the ghc package with

check out main/SysTools.lhs. Looks like it uses some heuristic to decide whether GHC is installed or not. I suspect your test app is running from a location it considers to be part of the build-tree. Look at initSysTools and findTopDir. On Oct 5, 2006, at 4:43 AM, Martin Grabmueller
