[Haskell-cafe] Re: Creating DLLs with GHC

[Cyril Schmidt]

Matthew,

As regards the symbols that end with _closure, I believe you can
resolve them by adding
-package parsec
to the ghc command line (as far as I can see, all the symbols you
list come from the parsec package).

I don't know, though, what to do with the undefined symbols from
matrixstack. You can try to check two things:
1) That the options you specify with -optl really reach the linker
   (e.g. try to give a non-existent library in -optl option and see
   if it complains).
2) That matrixstack.lib is understood by the linker (that is, it
   must be created with dlltool)
3) That the symbols it is looking for do exist in matrixstack.lib
   (you can check it with objdump, for instance).

Cheers,

Cyril
