Problems packaging ghc-hgettext

[Philip Withnall]

Hi all,

I'm trying to package Bustle[1], and so I first need to package
ghc-hgettext and ghc-setlocale as dependencies.

I can generate a ghc-setlocale package[2] easily enough using cabal-rpm,
but when I try to package ghc-hgettext[3], I get:

        + ./Setup build
        Building hgettext-0.1.30...
        Preprocessing library hgettext-0.1.30...
        [1 of 2] Compiling Distribution.Simple.I18N.GetText
        ( src/Distribution/Simple/I18N/GetText.hs,
        dist/build/Distribution/Simple/I18N/GetText.o )
        [2 of 2] Compiling Text.I18N.GetText ( src/Text/I18N/GetText.hs,
        dist/build/Text/I18N/GetText.o )
        [1 of 2] Compiling Distribution.Simple.I18N.GetText
        ( src/Distribution/Simple/I18N/GetText.hs,
        dist/build/Distribution/Simple/I18N/GetText.p_o )
        [2 of 2] Compiling Text.I18N.GetText ( src/Text/I18N/GetText.hs,
        dist/build/Text/I18N/GetText.p_o )
        [1 of 2] Compiling Distribution.Simple.I18N.GetText
        ( src/Distribution/Simple/I18N/GetText.hs,
        dist/build/Distribution/Simple/I18N/GetText.dyn_o )
        [2 of 2] Compiling Text.I18N.GetText ( src/Text/I18N/GetText.hs,
        dist/build/Text/I18N/GetText.dyn_o )
        /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSsetlocale-0.0.3-ghc7.4.2
        collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

That's with my ghc-setlocale package installed:

        $ ls -l /usr/lib64/ghc-7.4.2/setlocale-0.0.3/
        total 500
        -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 152134 Jun 28 10:44
        libHSsetlocale-0.0.3.a
        -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  91384 Jun 28 10:44
        libHSsetlocale-0.0.3-ghc7.4.2.so
        -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 259548 Jun 28 10:44
        libHSsetlocale-0.0.3_p.a
        drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root     12 Jun 28 10:47 System

I'm stumped. If I rebuild ghc-hgettext with shared libraries disabled,
it works, but that's not really acceptable. I'm afraid I don't know
enough about the Cabal/rpmbuild/Haskell build and linking process to be
able to diagnose this without spending too much time on it. Hopefully
the answer is obvious to someone else!

Thanks,
Philip
