GCC misc flag

[cchantep]

I don't find way to make cabal pass misc flag to GCC (-mflag).

e.g. -mwindows is useful when compiling/linking with GTK to ensure built GTK app won't start console/command prompt.

Env: Win7, msys2, ghc7.8.2, cabal1.18

cc-options in the .cabal file. configure --with-gcc-options should also work IIRC.

-v3 doesn't show such option passed to gcc

[23Skidoo]

What have you tried?

[cchantep]

--gcc-options --cc-options cc-options:

I guess that's because Cabal uses ghc to do linking and gcc-options is only for compiling C sources. So you need ghc-options: -optl-mwindows.

Thanks, it works. Useful to know.
