I think I had to specify parsec 3.0.1 which was built against GHC 6.10. I don't remember the cabal syntax for specifying that exact version (perhaps someone else on the list can help with the right cabal command.) > > thanks, > Ton > > > On Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 11:36 AM, Ton Biegstraaten < > ton.biegstraaten(a)gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi, >> I'm new to this.

Clarifications on building from source on Lion
by Nathan Sorenson 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

I'm stuck with OS 10.7, and I'm not sure if it's possible to build ghc-iphone or not with the new llvm compilers. To clarify the build process: does the source of this project consist of the 25 patches in the snow leopard directory? Do I force all these patches to apply to GHC 6.10.4, or do I only apply the patches that are specified for this version (i.e. patch 22 is for 6.10.4, but most seem to be for 6.10.2). Supposing I get this to build, is there any hope that compiling against the new iOS 5.0 sdk (using the llvm c compilers) will work, or should I just wait for this new ghc 7 cross compiling port to be finished?

GHC 7.4.1 RC1
by Pradeep Kumar 07 Jan '12

07 Jan '12

According to http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2011-December/021310… "There is now preliminary support for registerised compilation using LLVM on the ARM platform." Does that mean we can use the latest version of GHC to build iPhone ARM applications? Is this the work that was being merged to GHC head? Anbody have a recipe to build this version of GHC for iphone. Thank you Pradeep

Repair HaskellDraw
by Ton Biegstraaten 06 Jan '12

Hi, In a previous post I told about the more than 1800 error messages when compiling HaskelDraw and asked if someone knows how to compile it properly. Actually it is easy to do. Just remove the C-sources tag and corresponding files from the cabal file. After that it runs in the simulator. After that you have to do the `Haskell binary and library stuff' from the install description in GHC-iPhone.pdf to make it possible to build for the device. Only use $CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR/dist/build/HaskellDraw in stead of $BUILD_PRODUCTS_DIR/... That one didn't work for me. You can (at least I can) now build for the device. For running it you have to become an official developer (for $99) or use a jailbroken device and some adjustments to xcode. To be complete: I use xcode 3.2.5, osx 10.6.8 on an iPhone 3GS with ios 5.0.1 having a tethered jailbreak. greetings, Ton
