#4022: GHC Bindist is Broken on FreeBSD/amd64
--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
Reporter: pgj | Owner: igloo
Type: bug | Status: patch
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.12.3
Component: libraries (other) | Version: 6.13
Keywords: GMP,integer-gmp, sharedlibs | Difficulty:
Os: FreeBSD | Testcase:
Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Failure: Building GHC failed
--------------------------------------------+-------------------------------
Comment(by pgj):
No, this is not true. Please check out a recent build log for the
FreeBSD/i386 build slave:
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/pgj/45/8.html
It clearly shows that the in-tree GMP is picked up (search for the line
"Configuring integer-gmp") as the local GMP cannot be found (since it is
installed to /usr/local) just because the missing --with-gmp-* options in
the configure script.
To me, the reason why the in-tree GMP actually works is pure luck. Simply
adding "--enable-shared" will not help (I tried it in many different
combination, but I reserve the right to be wrong), I think it needs a
ghc.mk file similar to libffi's.
