Hi, this is to announce the release of jhc 0.6.1. The jhc homepage with distribution information is at http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/
The main new feature in this release is a much simplified cross-compilation mechanism. While cross-compilation was always possible with jhc, it used to involve manually copying the C file and calling gcc with the right options on it, now this is taken care of by jhc.
A (popular) example would be setting up an iPhone cross compilation target. For instance with the SDK setup I have, I would simply add the following to a file ~/.jhc/targets.ini
[iphone] cc=arm-apple-darwin cflags+=-I/usr/local/arm-apple-darwin/include merge=le32
then you can compile iphone binaries with
; jhc --cross -miphone HelloWorld.hs
the targets mechanism is extensible at run-time and I have included native unix, win32, osx-intel and osx-powerpc targets. But certainly many more interesting ones are possible. Some I have tested have been a nokia N770 as a target and an atheros MIPS based router running dd-wrt. Maximum coolness! When you were targeting the nokia, how did you handle
Switching to Haskell Cafe; I hope you read that list, John, since it seems more suitable to this kind of question. John Meacham wrote: the radically different user interface? Did you have to establish a mapping from one of the Haskell UI packages to the Nokia equivalents? If so, which one did you pick, and how much time did it take? I'd love it if I could get this working for the Palm.... Dave Barton (soon to be) University of Toronto
