Could we start documenting this on the wiki ? It will be interesting to keep track of what we have tried, what attempts failed and why. -- Don leaveye.guo:
Thanks for sharing your experences.
I just tried to port GHC 6.8.3 to my TI Davincci (c6446) board by following the GHC Wiki Building/Porting page [1]. Both arm-compile and cross-compile version have failed unfortunately.
So, I turn to try compile an local GHC on linux. It takes me so many time. I can not finish building it before off work.

Cool!
By cross-compilation, I assume you mean, a version of GHC which runs on x86, but generates ARM assembly? Another option might be to use a nintendo DS emulator which has been configured to support more RAM and CPU power ?
A true cross-compiler would be nice though, because it will run much faster. GHC does have some support for cross-compilation, but in the current implementation, it is mostly (entirely?) there for bootstrapping. I have no idea how the ghc backend rewrite for 6.10 will affect this.
Hope this helps, j. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
