happstack-server, Mac OS X, cryptopp

[Antoine Latter]

Hi Happstack,

When trying to install the new version of 'happstack-server' I get the error:

cabal: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing C library: cryptopp

I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.

Has anyone gotten this sort of thing working in the past?

I don't mind going without - I'm not going to be doing payment
processing on my laptop.

Thanks,
Antoine

I've encountered the same problem. Now, in principal you could eg do "brew install cryptopp", however it only generates the static lib, and it seems that the shared lib is whats needed

It is needed for the new HTTPS support.

cabal install happstack-server -f-https

That works, and is what I do, but frequently I'm installing something
that pulls in happstack-server as a dependency, and then I get
surprised by build failures.

I just submitted a proposal that we move the SSL code into  a separate library, happstack-server-ssl. That would effectively solve this problem.

apps/libraries that don't require SSL would depend on happstack-server. And apps/libraries that need SSL would also depend on happstack-server-ssl. There would be no special cabal flags that you need to enable/disable.

I just saw this thread on stackoverflow which presents a possible solution for when you really do want SSL on OS X:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9019815/install-happstack-server-6-5-3-on-osx-missing-libcryptopp

I have not tried it myself yet.

the solution that generated the dylib seems to work!

Hello,

I changed the happstack-server-tls.cabal so that it now says:

    if !os(darwin)

        Extra-Libraries: cryptopp

And now things seem to build out of the box on OS X. I did not have to do anything special using dylib, etc.

I uploaded happstack-server-tls-6.0.2 to hackage. Is it working now for everyone else?

I tested on OS X Lion, with the latest xcode, and Haskell Platform 2011.4. I did have to modify HsOpenSSL because it tries to import ForeignPtr.ForeignPtr.Unsafe  which does not exist in HP 2011.4. But happstack-server-tls itself installed fine. I am going to file a bug report against HsOpenSSL.
