#187: Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1 GHC cannot find libstdc++.a
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: dtrebbien | Owner: dons
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: GHC | Keywords:
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
I attempted to compile the just-released snap-0.6 package via `cabal
install`, but it failed in the "Loading packages" phase with:
{{{
Loading package double-conversion-0.2.0.1 ... ghc.exe: stdc++: The
specified module could not be found.
<command line>: can't load .so/.DLL for: stdc++ (addDLL: could not load
DLL)
}}}
The [https://github.com/mailrank/double-conversion double-conversion]
package specifies `extra-libraries: stdc++`. The double-conversion package
compiles successfully using `cabal install`, but when GHC attempts to link
it into an executable, GHC does not know to look in
`%HASKELL_PLATFORM_INSTALL_DIR%\mingw\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.5.0` for
`libstdc++.a`.
