Seems to have problems on 7.6.3 about charsetdetect-ae

[neongreen]

Seems to be caused by this bug. I'm investigating.

@Fuuzetsu: okay, I don't know how to fix it. Whenever GHC tries to compile a module with TH, it tries to load charsetdetect, which then fails due to the static linking problems. GHC will try to load charsetdetect even if the module structure is like this:

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}

module A where

import B (blah)

<something which uses TH>

module B where

import Codec.Text.Detect

blah = ... detectEncoding ...

which precludes moving writeFile, etc. into a separate module inside yi-rope, or moving them from yi-rope into yi.

I asked on SO, but I doubt there'll be a solution.

I have bumped the Trac ticket mentioned earlier but I don't have very high hopes.

Do you know if any other libraries on Hackage provide similar functionality to this?

Not to my knowledge (I've just finished checking all libraries Hackage has to offer which mention “charset” or “encoding”).

OK, we're going to employ CPP to bypass detection on 7.6.3. I don't know whether this should be WONTFIX or what.

Fixed thanks to this answer! I've uploaded a new version (1.0.1) on Hackage.
