Re: [Haskell-cafe] Unknown symbol `__dso_handle' with Template Haskell and wxHaskell

2011-01-06 Thread Scott Michel
It's a side effect of dynamic linking, or, lack of support for it in ghci. You 
can't work around it. I've tried.

Neither GHCi, cabal nor ghc --make works.

I refactored my code, so that all TH related stuff does not depend on 
wxHaskell, i.e. wxHaskell doesn't need to be loaded during THs code 
generation. Then ghc --make works fine. But when using cabal, the same 
error occurs. 

It seems to me that TH (when used with cabal) loads all packages 
specified at "Build-Depends" in your cabal file (whether they are needed 
or not). ghc --make instead just loads all packages, that are really 
needed for THs code generation.

But this is just a workaround and does not explain why TH does not work 
with wxHaskell. I think this is somehow related to the inability to use 
wxHaskell inside of GHCi [1], because then the same error occurs.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Unknown symbol `__dso_handle' with Template Haskell and wxHaskell

2010-12-27 Thread Erik Hesselink
We had this problem with a binding to a C++ library (through a C
wrapper). GHCi and cabal didn't work, but ghc --make did. How are you
compiling exactly when you get this error? This is somehow related to
TH, without it, at least cabal also works. I'm not sure about GHCi.
There's also a relevant bug in the GHC trac, but I can't seem to find
it now.
