(Imported comment by @dcoutts on 2008-11-08) Should not be too hard at least on common platforms. Just needs a bit of testing. Standalone task for some volunteer. |

I think this is a good idea as well. Anyone care to take a stab at it? I can provide some guidance. Generally you just have to add the |

* WIP: Adding -L paths to .a libs in .conf files will likely increase nix
closure size for dynamically linked Haskell packages because if pkg-config
finds an `-a` file, the path to it will be remembered.
(That only has an impact if the .a file is in a split-output from the .so file.)
Perhaps we make the feature that `pkg-config --static` is called
opt-outable.
On the other hand Haskell libs always carry their .a files, so pulling
a few system `.a` files more shouldn't make much of a difference.
So this opt-out should probably be an extra feature for later, if at all.

Its commit got squashed in:
Pass --static to pkg-config on --enable-executable-static.
This improves static building of packages with pkg-config depends,
by using the pkg-config feature designed for just that.
It results in more `-l` flags being emitted by `pkg-config --libs`,
namely those of all recursive `.a` file dependencies.
Also this commit got squashed in:
Add `--enable-executable-static` flag. Fixes haskell#391.
Also update the docs for `--enable-executable-dynamic`
as they were slightly misleading.

(Imported from Trac #398, reported by @dcoutts on 2008-11-08)
Generating statically linked binaries on different platforms requires a bit of knowledge about what flags to pass to ghc. It would be nice to just be able to cabal configure --enable-static-executable or something and have that pass the extra -optl-static and whatever ghc options are required.
If it's not possible to generate static binaries it should make some attempt at explaining why.
