#589: FreeBSD compiles should automatically add --extra-lib-dirs=/usr/local/lib
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
Reporter: markstos | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.1
Severity: normal | Keywords:
Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.8.2
Platform: |
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
FreeBSD stores a number of standard things in /usr/local/lib, such as the
'curl' libraries that darcs needs to compile against. Cabal should detect
that FreeBSD is the platform and look in this lib directory automatically.
Reference my experience trying to install darcs on FreeBSD:
