+ -- Making a darwin dylib
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ -- About the options used for Darwin:
+ -- -dynamiclib
+ -- Apple's way of saying -shared
+ -- -undefined dynamic_lookup:
+ -- Without these options, we'd have to specify the correct dependencies
+ -- for each of the dylibs. Note that we could (and should) do without this
+ -- for all libraries except the RTS; all we need to do is to pass the
+ -- correct HSfoo_dyn.dylib files to the link command.
+ -- This feature requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later; there is a similar feature,
+ -- -flat_namespace -undefined suppress, which works on earlier versions,
+ -- but it has other disadvantages.
+ -- -single_module
+ -- Build the dynamic library as a single "module", i.e. no dynamic binding
+ -- nonsense when referring to symbols from within the library. The NCG
+ -- assumes that this option is specified (on i386, at least).
+ -- -Wl,-macosx_version_min -Wl,10.3
+ -- Tell the linker its safe to assume that the library will run on 10.3 or
+ -- later, so that it will not complain about the use of the option
+ -- -undefined dynamic_lookup above.
+ -- -install_name
+ -- Mac OS/X stores the path where a dynamic library is (to be) installed
+ -- in the library itself. It's called the "install name" of the library.
+ -- Then any library or executable that links against it before it's
+ -- installed will search for it in its ultimate install location. By
+ -- default we set the install name to the absolute path at build time, but
+ -- it can be overridden by the -dylib-install-name option passed to ghc.
+ -- Cabal does this.
