Thank you, that works fine for me!

that time stamp is generated at link time, not compile time.
to remove it, simply use the "strip" tool:

echo "main = return ()" > c.hs && ghc -fforce-recomp c.hs && mv c c1 && ghc -fforce-recomp c.hs && mv c c2 && md5sum c1 c2 && strip c1 c2 && md5sum c1 c2

Betreff: [Haskell-cafe] pure ghc
Hello,
If I compile my source code two time I would like to get the same binary. But currently when I run

echo "main = return ()" > c.hs && ghc -fforce-recomp c.hs && xxd c > c1.hex && ghc -fforce-recomp c.hs && xxd c > c2.hex && diff c1.hex c2.hex

my output is

[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( c.hs, c.o )
Linking c ...
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( c.hs, c.o )
Linking c ...

So why does the binary differ? Is there a way to compile with ghc and get the same binary? Even though only one byte differ, the checksum (sha,md5,..) is completely changed… I’m running Linux and ghc 7.6.3.

Regards,
Joakim
