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.
I haven't tried. The old GHC-6.10.4 version doesn't use llvm.
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).
That's right. There's a fairly old document that explains it: http://projects.haskell.org/ghc-iphone/downloads/GHC-iPhone.pdf
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?
The new version should definitely before the end of February, and hopefully sooner. In the meantime, this info from a previous post may be helpful: William, 1. Take the patches from here... http://projects.haskell.org/ghc-iphone/downloads/patch.snowleopard/ 2. Read the README.SnowLeopard file. 3. Then install according to the instructions in GHC-iPhone.pdf (which is a little old), except that you use ghc version 6.10.4 in all cases. config-iphone.sh is created by applying the patches. http://projects.haskell.org/ghc-iphone/downloads/GHC-iPhone.pdf Steve
