#791: Large libraries not installable on OS X -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: batterseapower | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: Mac OS | -----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Comment(by batterseapower): It was my understanding that GHCi will use the .a on all platforms - so you could disable it unconditionally for GHC >= 7. See the patch at http://darcs.haskell.org/cgi- bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=ghc-7.0/ghc;a=darcs_commitdiff;h=20101127173000-3fd76-04f98172935bf6b1a3f4154d57c06f620b6b9427.gz for details. However, I'm having some problems making it actually work (as you can see above). I've filed GHC #4901 (http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4901) to get feedback on whether my understanding at fault or GHCi is. -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/791#comment:3> Hackage <http://haskell.org/cabal/> Hackage: Cabal and related projects _______________________________________________ cabal-devel mailing list cabal-devel@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-devel
