ObjectIO

[Arjan van IJzendoorn]

Hi there,

Here in Utrecht we tried to get ObjectIO to work. Firstly, adding the
package didn't work. Google pointed us at the article that solves the
problem:

http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2002-May/003021.html

You need to type
    ghc-pkg -a < pckg.cfg
and NOT
    ghc-pkg -a objectio -f pckg.cfg

Then it worked on my system (Windows 2000, ghc-5.02.1) but not on the system
of my colleague (Windows 2000, ghc-5.02.2). I then upgraded my version to
5.02.3 and now ObjectIO doesn't work anywhere anymore. The linker complains
in literally thousands of errors like the ones shown below. This is a shame
because we did like the ObjectIO library. Ah, my colleague has just
installed 5.02.1 and now it works on his system.

C:/apps/ghc-5.02.3/libHSobjectio1.a(StdControlClass__60.o)(.text+0xa6)://c/D
OCUME~1/krasimir/LOCALS~1/Temp/ghc1052.hc: undefined reference to
