Bootstrap of ghc doesn’t do DESTDIR correctly, propagates build dir
Summary
The bootstrap of ghc doesn’t do DESTDIR
correctly, embeds the build directory into the ghc
binary, and propagates the build directory to binaries built using bootstrapped ghc.
This is embedded in the ghc
binary in several places:
vi /opt/local/lib/ghc-8.10.4/bin/ghc
^@/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_ports_lang_ghc/ghc/work/src/ghc-8.10.4/rts/dist/build^@
Also:
fgrep "/opt/local/var/macports/build" /opt/local/lib/ghc-8.10.4/bin/ghc
Binary file /opt/local/lib/ghc-8.10.4/bin/ghc matches
Looking at binaries built with this bootstrapped ghc
shows that the issue propagates.
Here is the binary for pandoc
, built using cabal
3.4.0.0 and this ghc-8.10.4
binary:
fgrep "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_ports_lang_ghc/ghc/work/src/ghc-8.10.4/rts" /opt/local/bin/pandoc
Binary file /opt/local/bin/pandoc matches
Steps to reproduce
The Portfile simply implements ghc's basic quick start build instructions.
Expected behavior
No build directories in the ghc
binary, or binaries built using it.
Environment
- GHC version used: 8.10.4
Optional:
- Operating System: macOS
