Description Daniel O'Connor 2018-04-09 01:54:56 UTC 
I'm trying to build https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel statically like so..
stack install --ghc-options='-optl-static' --system-ghc

However it complains it can't find various libraries, eg..
[vm11 1:35] ~/wstunnel >stack install --ghc-options='-optl-static' --system-ghc
wstunnel-0.1.0.0: build (lib + exe)
Preprocessing library wstunnel-0.1.0.0...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHSwebsockets-0.10.0.0-VnlKayMDvyHnd2tkINzmP-ghc8.0.2
cc: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
`cc' failed in phase `Linker'. (Exit code: 1)

--  While building package wstunnel-0.1.0.0 using:
     /usr/home/darius/.stack/setup-exe-cache/x86_64-freebsd/Cabal-simple_mPHDZzAJ_1.24.2.0_ghc-8.0.2 --builddir=.stack-work/dist/x86_64-freebsd/Cabal-1.24.2.0 build lib:wstunnel exe:wstunnel --ghc-options " -ddump-hi -ddump-to-file"
   Process exited with code: ExitFailure 1

The library is at /home/darius/.stack/snapshots/x86_64-freebsd/lts-9.9/8.0.2/lib/x86_64-freebsd-ghc-8.0.2/websockets-0.10.0.0-VnlKayMDvyHnd2tkINzmP/libHSwebsockets-0.10.0.0-VnlKayMDvyHnd2tkINzmP-ghc8.0.2.a

but that isn't in the search path. I note that /home/darius/.stack/snapshots/x86_64-freebsd/lts-9.9/8.0.2/lib/x86_64-freebsd-ghc-8.0.2/libHSwebsockets-0.10.0.0-VnlKayMDvyHnd2tkINzmP-ghc8.0.2.so is present though so I tried symlinking /home/darius/.stack/snapshots/x86_64-freebsd/lts-9.9/8.0.2/lib/x86_64-freebsd-ghc-8.0.2/websockets-0.10.0.0-VnlKayMDvyHnd2tkINzmP/libHSwebsockets-0.10.0.0-VnlKayMDvyHnd2tkINzmP.a into that directory as libHSwebsockets-0.10.0.0-VnlKayMDvyHnd2tkINzmP-ghc8.0.2.a (and a bunch of others plus ones under /usr/local/lib/ghc-8.0.2).

That got me further but then I ended up seeing a heap of undefined reference errors, eg..

But unfortunately I have zero Haskell clue so I'm not sure what's missing.
Comment 1 Gleb Popov freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-02-06 18:09:32 UTC 
We don't provide GHC 8.0.2 from ports, and there is no working distribution to be used by stack. On the other side, wstunnel doesn't build with recent LTS snapshots.

So, there is nothing that can be done on our side. Why do you need -optl-static, anyways? Stack links statically by default.

Bug upstream to update their application to more recent LTS snapshot.
