* status: new => patch Comment: The patch validates on Linux with and without the new flag {{{--with- system-libffi}}}. Please validate on MacOS and Windows before pushing. I tried to validate on MacOS but failed to compile ghc-7.6 branch without the patch. The patch adds three flags to configure: {{{--with-system-libffi}}} use system provided libffi {{{--with-ffi-includes}}} find includes for libffi in non-standard directory {{{--with-ffi-libraries}}} find libraries for libffi in non-standard directory -- Ticket URL: <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5743#comment:9> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-bugs mailing list Glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-bugs
