Yesod haskell-stack安装-fPIC

Question

This is the first time I try to install Haskell yesod but I run through some problems when I use these commands on Arch Linux

yesod devel 

or

stack exec -- yesod devel

Now I am not sure why this happens but I think my database settings are wrong

Answer 1

Some users have come across a linker errors that seem to be dependent on the local environment, ie the package may compile on a different machine. The issue has been reported to be non-deterministic in some cases.

The issue may be related to the use of hardening flags in some cases, specifically those related to producing position independent executables (PIE).

In Arch Linux, the support for this is provided by the hardening-wrapper package . Possible workaround:

sudo vim /etc/hardening-wrapper.conf

* vim, nan, emacs or whatever editor you prefer.

Change HARDENING_PIE=1 to HARDENING_PIE=0
save it.

That's it.
