Category: Build System Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: John Goerzen (jgoerzen) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Cabal tries to build ghci libraries on install Initial Comment: This is with GHC 6.4.1. ghci is not supported on AIX. I recently tried to isntall MissingH with Cabal. I got: # ./setup install Installing: /usr/local/lib/MissingH-0.12.0 & /usr/local/bin MissingH-0.12.0... Registering MissingH-0.12.0... Reading package info from ".installed-pkg-config" ... done. building GHCi library /usr/local/lib/MissingH-0.12.0/HSMissingH-0.12.0.o...ld: 0706-027 The -x flag is ignored. ld: 0706-012 The -- flag is not recognized. ld: 0706-012 The -w flag is not recognized. ld: 0706-012 The -h flag is not recognized. ghc-pkg list does not see the package after this, either. I'm not sure why Cabal seems to think it needs to build a GHCi library, and it's even more concerning that invalid flags are being given to ld. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=108032&aid=1364839&group_id=8032 _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
