Has there been any progress in getting ghc set up for porting to non x86/unix/windows platforms? Can it generate ropi code? It would also be nice to be able to compile to C that rvct/arm tools can compile in thumb mode.
AFAIK, you can bootstrap ghc onto lots of non-PC-centric platforms, using the unregisterized porting guide. However, it is not a trivial exercise, and it does not address the question of setting ghc up as a cross-compiler, should your device be too small to host ghc at all. Other Haskell compilers might be a better starting point. For instance, nhc98 uses portable C as a target language, and has a configure-time option to set it up as a cross-compiler. See http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/nhc98/install.html (cross-compiler info towards the bottom of the page). The example given is for ARM/linux. Regards, Malcolm
