Bootstrap of v9.6.4 Fails to Install Built libffi libs, Uses Build Directories, Not DESTDIR Directory
Summary
A standard bootstrap build of ghc
(MacPorts update attempt to version 9.6.4) shows that the installed libraries do not correctly link to libffi
, but rather the nonexistent build directory:
otool -L /opt/local/lib/ghc-9.6.4/lib/x86_64-osx-ghc-9.6.4/libHSrts-1.0.2-ghc9.6.4.dylib
/opt/local/lib/ghc-9.6.4/lib/x86_64-osx-ghc-9.6.4/libHSrts-1.0.2-ghc9.6.4.dylib:
@rpath/libHSrts-1.0.2-ghc9.6.4.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1336.61.1)
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_ports_lang_ghc/ghc/work/ghc-9.6.4/_build/stage1/libffi/build/inst/lib/libffi.8.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.2.0)
Note that a build of ghc
version 9.6.3 following the exact same procedure does not have this issue:
otool -L /opt/local/lib/ghc-9.6.3/lib/x86_64-osx-ghc-9.6.3/libHSrts-1.0.2-ghc9.6.3.dylib
/opt/local/lib/ghc-9.6.3/lib/x86_64-osx-ghc-9.6.3/libHSrts-1.0.2-ghc9.6.3.dylib:
@rpath/libHSrts-1.0.2-ghc9.6.3.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1336.0.0)
@rpath/libffi.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.2.0)

Expected behavior

.
