Hi everybody: I would like to compile Haskell programs to run on Alpha architecture. As the target architecture is going to be simulated, I can't install GHC on an Alpha machine (because I don't have one). As most of you, I have got GHC installed and running on x86. Is there any way to cross-compile and generate Alpha code with my x86 compiler?
At the moment, no. You can build a compiler that will generate .hc files that can be compiled on the target; this is how we do bootstrapping on a new architecture, but it's not the same as cross-compiling all the way to an executable. Cheers, Simon
