Hi Martin, Thanks for your reports.
I have approved your account on gitlab now. * The FreeBSD bindists are not officially created during the release process. The ones you are using from ghcup are created (and maintained) by the ghcup maintainers. * Most linux bindists are created using the old make build system on the 9.2.* series but it seems these bindists were not. * We will gladly fix the bugs you report with the hsc2hs wrapper. * Please open an issue for the problem with --target flag Cheers, Matt On Mon, Mar 20, 2023 at 2:05 AM Martin Baulig via ghc-devs <ghc-devs@haskell.org> wrote: > > Hello, > > I am a FreeBSD user, running FreeBSD 13.1 with Clang 13 and GCC 12.2, and > still fairly new to the Haskell Platform. > > When I tried to upgrade a hobby project to Stackage's latest LTS 20.15, I > realized that neither the GHC 9.2.6 nor > the GHC 9.2.7 binary packages from GHCUP work anymore. > > There are two issues - and I wrote a detailed article about my investigation > on Medium: > https://medium.com/@martin.baulig/ghc-9-2-7-on-freebsd-22afab71c715 > > The first one is a trivial one-line change - in > hadrian/src/Rules/BinaryDist.hs, we need to change > > ( "HSC2HS_EXTRA=\"" <> unwords ccArgs <> unwords ldFlags <> "\"" > > > into > > ( "HSC2HS_EXTRA=\"" <> unwords (ccArgs <> ldFlags) <> "\"" > > > Otherwise, this will break when both ccArgs and ldFlags are non-empty: > > HSC2HS_EXTRA="--cflag=--target=x86_64-portbld-freebsd--lflag=--target=x86_64-portbld-freebsd > --lflag=-fuse-ld=lld" > > > Unfortunately, this is not quite it just yet. > > The problem is that Clang supports the --target= argument, but GCC does not - > and it looks like Cabal insists on always > invoking hsc2hs with an explicit --cc= argument. > > Overriding that in ~/.cabal/config doesn't work either - because then Cabal > passes "-pgmc /usr/bin/cc" to GHC, but no > "-pgma" and GHC tries to invoke GCC for assembling with a Clang-only argument. > > I am a bit lost here now about what the correct path forward is, but would > very much like to help fixing this problem, > so I created an account on gitlab.haskell.org to report this issue, but got a > message saying that it is awaiting admin > approval.
