$NetBSD: patch-libraries_Cabal_Cabal_Distribution_Simple_GHC.hs,v 1.1 2020/01/17 07:10:57 pho Exp $ Enable Cabal's rpath overriding functionality on all the platforms known to use ELF. When a Cabal package which defins both a library and an executable is to be built, GHC by default embeds an rpath to the *build* directory into the executable. This may sound like a bug in GHC but is actually not, because GHC doesn't know the fact that the said library is going to be installed elsewhere. To overcome this issue, Cabal has a functionality to disable the default rpath handling of GHC and construct the correct set of rpaths... but only on certain platforms for some reason. --- libraries/Cabal/Cabal/Distribution/Simple/GHC.hs.orig 2020-01-16 22:47:21.132921936 +0000 +++ libraries/Cabal/Cabal/Distribution/Simple/GHC.hs @@ -1725,10 +1725,10 @@ getRPaths lbi clbi | supportRPaths hostO case compid of CompilerId GHC ver | ver >= mkVersion [7,10,2] -> True _ -> False - supportRPaths OpenBSD   = False - supportRPaths NetBSD   = False - supportRPaths DragonFly = False - supportRPaths Solaris = False + supportRPaths OpenBSD   = True + supportRPaths NetBSD   = True + supportRPaths DragonFly = True + supportRPaths Solaris = True supportRPaths AIX = False supportRPaths HPUX = False supportRPaths IRIX = False
