#63: hugs cabal incomplete
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Reporter: jvlask at hotmail.com | Owner: nobody
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: hugs | Version: 200609
Keywords: cabal |
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Two things
1) hugs cabal does not take any notice of additional C files specified in
the
cabal config
2) hugs cabal passes libraries using mingw conventions and does not
support a
build process using msvc. i.e. libraries passed as -lodbc
3) I used to be able to generate the C stub for seporate compilation with
the following command
ffihugs -98 +G -Pbuild: +L"-D_WIN32_" +L"-Dmingw32_HOST_OS" +L"-I./HSQL"
+L"./ODBC/Database/HSQL/HsODBC.o" +L"odbc32.lib"
+L"-I./ODBC/Database/HSQL" $<
this worked fine and achieved what was desired:- generating a C file
compiling and specifying additional link libraries and include path.
this can be done with the new hugs like so
ffihugs -98 $< -D_WIN32_ -Dmingw32_HOST_OS -I./HSQL
./ODBC/Database/HSQL/HsODBC.o odbc32.lib -I./ODBC/Database/HSQL
The current cabal setup for hugs does not support the
generation/specification of such a command, so I am left with no option
but to use a hybrid of cabal and make files ... very unsatisfactory.
4) you should really think about linking hugs against the multithreaded
library /MD by default many external gnu etc libraries (actually all that
I have come accross) link against msvcrt.lib. Having two different rtl
being called can cause problems.
