#2829: GHC_SEARCH_PATH broken
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Reporter: droundy | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Component: Compiler
Version: 6.10.1 | Severity: normal
Keywords: | Testcase:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
This bug is present in at least ghc 6.8.2 and ghc 6.10.1. According to
the documentation:
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.10.1/html/users_guide/packages.html#ghc-
package-path
One should be able to specify an environment variable like
GHC_PACKAGE_PATH=$HOME/foo: in order to add the file foo to the search
path. Instead, the search path is completely replaced--which seems
unlikely to be the desired behavior, besides being contrary to the
documentation.
This feature works fine, however, in ghc 6.6.1.
