--enable-shared does not work for ghc-6.10
Comment:
Note that `--enable-shared` is not supported in GHC 6.10. Currently the
only platforms where ghc supports shared libs are Linux on x86 and x86-64
and only when using ghc-6.12.
Note also that the configure flags `--disable-static` and `--disable-
rpath` do not actually exist.
In ghc-6.12 the flag `--enable-shared` also does not exist. The way to
force the ghc build system to try to make shared libs on platforms where
they are not officially supported is to add `GhcLibWays += dyn` to your
`mk/build.mk`.
Elkner, it's worth having a go and trying this with 6.12. I would not
expect it to work first time but it should give us a clue as to what needs
fixing. Report your progress to the ghc users list and/or file a new
feature-request ticket.
I'm closing this ticket because we do not expect 6.10 to support
`--enabled-shared`.
