Hi Dominick,
Awesome. Sounds like everything's working perfectly : ). The 'has no
symbols' messages are normal and harmless; I think they can be fixed but in
the meantime there is a script in ghc-ios-scripts called "libtool-quiet"
that silences them. You can use it by adding -pgmlibtool libtool-quiet to
your GHC arguments.
The output just goes to the iPhone's console which is normally shown in
Xcode when you run, but you can also access it with Apple's "iPhone
Configurator" app.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-configurator/id434433123?mt=12 .
(You could also modify the example to return e.g. an Int and put that on
the screen with a UILabel or similar -- you can call Haskell from anywhere
in your app as long as you've called hs_init at the very beginning. A nice
trick is to create an NSObject category with a + (void)load { hs_init(NULL,
NULL) } method, which will ensure hs_init is called very early in your
program and then you don't have to worry about it anymore.)
Thanks so much for testing!
Cheers
Luke

Hi Dominick and all,
That's great news!
I've created a README here:
https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc-ios-scripts/blob/master/README.md
Note that the binary posted above is only for the device. I'll post the
simulator version shortly along with instructions on how to create fat
libraries that contain both simulator and device code.
Please let me know if you have any questions or issues!
Very best
Luke

Hi all,
I believe I've worked around the issues with make binary-dist and
cross-compilation.
This should be a working binary for iOS devices
https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc-ios-scripts/releases/download/7.8-rc1-device…
Please try ./configure && make install (it should live happily next to your
current ghc as arm-apple-darwin10-ghc) and let me know so we can have a
build ready for 7.8 RC2!
Cheers
Luke
