[wishlist] Flags to avoid C bindings, specifically libbz2 #57

Closed stephen-smith closed 4 years ago

stephen-smith commented 5 years ago

I'm targeting an odd, "embeded-like" platform, where I can't upgrade libbz2[1], it provides libbz2.so.0.0.0. I'm already doing my compilation in an ancient Debian Jessie VM to use a compatible glibc version, but even Jessie provides libbz2.so.1. Would it be possible to add a cabal flag to avoid the (indirect) dependency on libbz2 by removing the (direct) dependency on bzlib-conduit? I know the files I will want to process will not use bz2 compression, since I have other (Java) processes generating that I control.

[1] It's possible, but not easy.

I’d accept a PR that adds the flag.
