Hi
Another option would be to port the yhi bytecode interpreter to run on PalmOS. I tried this, but I ran into three problems:
1. libgmp dependency
This is no longer an issue, we now have a flag to not require libgmp, which makes type Integer = Int
2. build system requires Python (scons).
Still alas, but we'd like to fix it.
If PalmOS is really un-POSIX compatible, it may be easier to write a custom compiler that compiles YHC or GHC Core to PalmOS. Well, the first time you try to write a compiler from Core -> ??? is difficult, but the second time around is a lot easier ;)
We have compilers from Yhc Core to everything nowadays. One to Lisp shouldn't be too tricky, if someone wanted to take that direction. Thanks Neil
