GHC cross compilation survey results

Dear friends, 20 days ago, together with obsidian.systems, we asked about cross compilation with GHC. A follow up with the result has been posted yesterday[1]. I’ll hope we can improve on many fronts and make building a cross compiling GHC as simple as ./configure --target=... --prefix=... [--disable-large-address-space] with GHC 8.4. I also plan on extending documentation on cross compiling, and maybe even provide pre-built cross compiles. I’ll plan to publish a few more posts regarding cross compiling in general and cross compiling with ghc specifically over the next few month at https://medium.com/@zw3rk. If you would like some more specific details of the survey, please feel free to contact me! Cheers, Moritz [1]: https://medium.com/@zw3rk/cross-compilation-survey-results-3988ad1b677b PS: I am building cross compilers for arm/raspberry pi, armv7/android, aarch64/android, aarch64/iOS, x86_64/iOS, all with limited* TH support as well as x86_64/macOS on a daily basis, and hope that this will ensure to a certain degree that master won’t break the cross compilers. *: without File IO (except for embedFile), and without Process IO.

Dear friends,

as some of you might have noticed, together with obsidian.systems, I’m trying to make cross compiling GHC a bit easier. To that extend, I’d like to invite you to fill out a short survey[1], so we understand the needs of the community better.

Please follow the attached link and fill out the survey!

Cheers, Moritz
