Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell *interpreter* on iPad? (Scheme and Ocaml are there)

I suppose you could make a GUI, by why? Given that you'll have to be working on a jailbroken device, anyway, one could just as well use one of the numerous terminal emulators now floating around for jailbroken iOS. That said, the idea of people writing Haskell on phones and iPads and so on makes me just a little bit grinny. On Jun 18, 2011, at 2:17 PM, Alexander Solla wrote:

Since the iPhone OS is pretty much OS X for ARM, and GHC apparently now supports cross-compilation, you can compile GHC for iOS. I guess you could cross compile Hugs with GCC. Doing so probably isn't trivial, but it should be straightforward.

I bet you could even use Xcode to make a graphical user interface to GHCi. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
