Shared libraries on OSX not linked with framework dependencies or custom ld flags

[yiding]

On OSX at least, shared libraries are not linked with frameworks, resulting in dylibs which do not declare dependencies correctly (and cannot be loaded unless the dependency is manually loaded). Additionally, ld-options are also ignored for these dylibs.

I think the issue might be

cabal/Cabal/Distribution/Simple/GHC.hs

Line 648 in 71edb7d

ghcSharedLinkArgs =

where ld options and frameworks are not specified when generating the dylib.

cabal-install version 1.22.0.0
using version 1.22.0.0 of the Cabal library

Example:

cabal file snippet

library
  exposed-modules:     Test
  -- other-modules:       
  other-extensions:    ForeignFunctionInterface
  build-depends:       base >=4.8 && <4.9
  -- hs-source-dirs:      
  default-language:    Haskell2010
  ld-options: wtf is this used for
  frameworks: CoreFoundation

and a Test.hs like this:

{-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-}
module Test where
import Foreign

foreign import ccall "CFRelease" cfRelease :: Ptr a -> IO ()

releaseNull = cfRelease nullPtr

The dylib that gets generated turns out to be this:

~/t/ghc-framework-test ❯❯❯ otool -L dist/build/libHSghcfr_C05XexetHdH9tTr8o4CTUh-ghc7.10.1.dylib

No mention of CoreFoundation anywhere.
