Re: ghc-ios 7.8 working build

[Luke: forgot to forward to list, sorry for the duplicates] There are two issues: 1. When I build Counter.a I see lots of messages from libtool saying "has no symbols", for example: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/libtool: for architecture: armv7s file: /usr/local/lib/arm-apple-darwin10-ghc-7.8.20140129/rts-1.0/libHSrts_thr.a(Sanity.thr_o) has no symbols 2. I have not (yet) joined the developer program since I have no plans to deploy to the app store, so instead I have been following the instructions here to deploy to my own device: http://www.sysrage.net/guides/ios-programming/building-and-running-ios-appli... Following these instructions I am able to copy HaskellCounter (my name for your test app) to my device, and I see the HaskellCounter icon, but when I start the app I just see a blank screen. Looking at Counter.hs this is not too surprising, as I see no code that would update the Single View screen? I'm not sure where the output of putStrLn goes when an app is run on the device.

Hi Dominick and all,

That's great news!

I've created a README here: https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc-ios-scripts/blob/master/README.md

Note that the binary posted above is only for the device. I'll post the simulator version shortly along with instructions on how to create fat libraries that contain both simulator and device code.

Please let me know if you have any questions or issues!

Very best Luke

Hello Luke,

It installed without problems under Mac OS X Mavericks and reports the version correctly. If there is some documentation that you can point me to I will test on my simulator and iPhone.

Thanks, Dominick

Hi all,

I believe I've worked around the issues with make binary-dist and cross-compilation.

This should be a working binary for iOS devices

https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc-ios-scripts/releases/download/7.8-rc1-device/...

Please try ./configure && make install (it should live happily next to your current ghc as arm-apple-darwin10-ghc) and let me know so we can have a build ready for 7.8 RC2!

Cheers Luke
