[Haskell-cafe] Undefined symbol error coming from shared, dynamic library.

[Sergiy Nazarenko]

Hi, Captain,

As far as I see you try to build static library.
If this correct, what did not work in static library?
Why do you decide compile with -dynamic option?

I was trying to build shared library. Other python library has used
some functions from library which I had written using Haskell. But
some software which we use in my company had crached after attempts to
import python module. Under pure python it works OK, but software has
crached. I thought having static library to solve my problem. And I'm
looking for how to build static library, but no luck.

Cheers,
Sergiy
