Do we have a native LLVM bitcode writer or is it still FFI? ------Original Message------ From: Thomas DuBuisson Sender: glasgow-haskell-users-bounces@haskell.org To: han Cc: glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org Subject: Re: Compiling to ANSI C Sent: Nov 7, 2009 09:56 If I were you, I'd look at using the recent LLVM backend work as a means to translate Haskell -> ARM.

I am (in fact we are) working to make Haskell code to run on an ARM Linux machine called GP2X Wiz, the open-source based handheld game console.

I wish to finally make a Haskell cross-compiler for ARM Linux, and for now I am trying to make

main = putStrLn "Hello, World!"

to run on the machine. At first I did

$ ghc hello.hs -o hello -fvia-C -keep-hc-files

and tried to use the generated hc file, but figured that the code is (or at least some code in the included headers is) x86-dependent.

I heard that the GHC can compile to ANSI C, and I want to use it as an intermediate code to ARM Linux before we can actually port the GHC to it.

Is there any specific option I have to give in order to generate an ANSI C code from a Haskell source code? _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
