David,

The most likely thing is that some setting is wrong in the build. HaskellDraw is very old indeed, and the Xcode project will - at a minimum - require to be told to build using the 4.2 SDK. Now - it looks like you are doing that, but check all the settings related to that.

Now, on the version of Xcode I used, every single SDK version other than the latest did not work at all. When I say "at all", I mean nothing about it worked. So, Xcode is very fussy - or perhaps a better term for it might be "buggy". You will need to fiddle.

The second most likely thing is that a new version of Xcode has broken something new.

I have not seen this particular error, as far as I remember.

You could try building from source. Then, at least, the GHC-iPhone stuff and the Xcode you're using will be the same version.

I am about to start working on porting ghc-7.0 or 7.2 to iPhone, so if I possibly can, I will try very hard to avoid having to diagnose problems on the old version.

David,

ghc-iphone doesn't use your native GHC for its own compiling, so you
can use any version you like. However, if you want to install
GHC-iPhone from source, you will need to use ghc-6.10.4.

The source code is in the form of patches, which can be found in the
patch.snowleopard directory at

http://projects.haskell.org/ghc-iphone/downloads/

Read the README file and GHC-iPhone.pdf and you should have (almost)
enough information to build from source.

Thanks.

I am using the binary distribution with the draw example and get the
following errors (and then some):
build-iphone-haskell.sh running with ACTION= and
PLATFORM_NAME=iphonesimulator

Howdy,

I'm running GHC 7.0.2 on OS X Snow Leopard (64 bit)

Is it possible to get ghc-iphone to work with GHC 7?

Also, is there a source repository for the ghc-iphone code?

Sorry for the dumb/newbie questions. It's the first week in a new
environment (Haskell) and I'm feeling my way around and bumping
my head
a lot.

Thanks,

David
