Just curious: I've been messing with multi-ghc lately, which installs tarball distributions fine, but I haven't figured out how to get this source build to work with it. The multi-ghc makefile tries to build it if i clone the ghc-ios repo into it, but I assume the environment is wrong, and I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to stick once the multi-ghc makefile does its thing. Perhaps this is a question better posed to someone who's worked on multi-ghc, but since we're talking builds anyway...

Thanks,
Alex

I thought I'd post some information about building ghc-ios from a new
git clone since there are some issues.  I believe these are temporary
issues and will be resolved as patches go from the ios branch to master.

If you do a git clone followed by a sync-all you'll wind up with a lot
of the "sub" repositories being on commits that are too new for ghc-ios.
For awhile I felt like I was yak shaving but I've been able to track
down commits for all the repositories that are working right now.

I ended up writing a script since GHC isn't using git submodules and the
sync-all script doesn't seem to support a way to specify which commits
are appropriate for each of the repositories.

I'm keeping the script at the following URL if anyone needs it:
