[Haskell-cafe] HPC and Template Haskell (GHC 7.8.3, Yesod)

[David Turner]

Hi,

I'm having trouble making a HPC build of a Yesod application. It fails with:

/usr/bin/ld: dist/build/StreamReading/Config.dyn_o: relocation
R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol
`_hpc_tickboxes_tracszmenterprisezm0zi0zi0_Settings_hpc' can not be
used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

I've narrowed it down to a call to ghc and posted the output in all
its gory detail at http://lpaste.net/116872 if that's any help.

Of note is that dist/build/Settings.dyn_o is unexpectedly missing from
the list of parameters to the last call to gcc, and the missing symbol
is defined in the same. There are, in fact, quite a number of missing
.dyn_o files in that list.

Slightly weirdly, when I run the same command line again, it seems to
work. At least, there are no errors reported and the exit code is 0.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

David
