#2751: GHC 6.10.1 fails to build with --enable-shared configured on Ubuntu 8.04.
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Reporter: guest | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.10.1 | Severity: normal
Keywords: build enable-shared | Testcase:
Architecture: x86 | Os: Linux
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
To replicate:
* unpack the source tar file
* unpack the extralibs tar file
* unpack the test suite tar file
In the source root:
$ ./configure --enable-shared
$ make
The package base-4.0.0.0 will crap out with a complaint about libffi. Do
the following instead after unpacking and it builds all the way through,
even if you bootstrap3, etc.:
$ ./configure
$ make
To my untutored eyes it appears as if ghc is looking for libffi.so.5 and
isn't finding it. This is not a surprise given:
$ ll /usr/lib/libffi*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2008-10-23 09:13 /usr/lib/libffi.so.4 ->
libffi.so.4.0.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22K 2008-10-11 03:38 /usr/lib/libffi.so.4.0.1
I've attached the config log (for details of file versions, etc.) and the
output of the make process (for complete error information) to this
ticket.
