What is the problem building GMP for PalmOS? According to the GMP install documentation, it supports ARM and Motorola's m68k processors, so you would not be using generic C code. You are probably also using PRC-Tools, correct?
Yes. I can not get past the configure step. I tried to build gmp 4.2.1 with prc tools 2.3. I ran configure with these options:
./configure --build=i386-linux-gnu --host=m68k-palmos
But, all the test programs (conftest.c) fail to link because they use 'main ()', but palmos expects 'PilotMain ()'. I hack the configure script and changed all occurances of 'main ()' to 'PilotMain ()', but then it failed beacuse the test programs could not find MemoryMgr.h. So I invoked configure with:
CFLAGS=-I=/root/n-heptane/projects/haskell/palmos/sdk-5r3/ include/ ./configure --build=i386-linux-gnu --host=m68k-palmos
But now it fails to find working compiler with this error (from config.log):
configure:7756: checking build system compiler m68k-palmos-gcc -I=/ root/n-heptane/projects/haskell/palmos/sdk-5r3/include/ configure:7769: m68k-palmos-gcc -I=/root/n-heptane/projects/haskell/ palmos/sdk-5r3/include/ conftest.c /usr/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-palmos/2.95.3-kgpd/libgcc.a(_exit.o)(.text +0x10): In function `exit': libgcc2.c: undefined reference to `_cleanup' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-palmos/2.95.3-kgpd/libgcc.a(_exit.o)(.text +0x16):libgcc2.c: undefined reference to `_exit' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
Did you set LDFLAGS to point to the prc-tools directory and set the first available 'ld' executable to the prc-tools 'ld'? I would help more but I am using darwinports to build prc-tools (I have not experience with prc-tools or PalmOS) and it fails to build (partly because Apple gcc 4.0.1 defaults to a dynamic C++ library, so prebinding fails... there is an easy workaround so once I get enough CPU-time to rebuild it I will try poking around some more.
And, around this time, my interest in running yhi on PalmOS starts to wane.
Awww... to my knowledge, that would be the first Haskell implementation for PalmOS :) As I mentioned in a prior email, there is a Haskell arbitrary precision number library (BigFloat, at http:// bignum.sourceforge.net/). You might adapt it for Integer and add it to Yhc if nothing else works. I'm not crazy about BigFloat's performance, though. Cheers, Pete
