Category: Driver Group: 6.2.2 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Axel Simon (as49) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: ghc-pkg ignores library dirs Initial Comment: Hi, I'm installing several packages in sequence. The first package specified /usr/local/lib in the library_dirs field. The .o file is built correctly. The next package depends on the first package. To reduce the size of the command line of any build with the second package, I filter out all flags that are already in the first package. Doing this, the .o file of the second package cannot be built since ghc-pkg does not include the library path of the first package when it searches for the .a file. I think that adding only those flags that are needed in addition to some other dependent package is a reasonable thing to do, so I would like to see ghc-pkg search on the library paths of all dependant packages. Thanks, Axel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Simon Marlow (simonmar) Date: 2004-12-13 12:52 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48280 Just to check I've understood: you have a package that includes a library foo.a, but the directory containing foo.a does not appear in the library_dirs field of the package? I'd say you really ought to include the directory in library_dirs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108032&aid=1083852&group_id=8032 _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
