you may want to ask this on ghc-devs, seems to be a more general cross compiler question than this list is able to handle On Tue, Dec 10, 2013 at 7:08 PM, Alex Carter <alrunner4@gmail.com> wrote:
I'm on an interesting journey building a GHC cross-compiler on Windows to target iOS, using a third-party iOS toolchain for Windows (http://www.pmbaty.com/iosbuildenv/ for the curious), and I'm running into an unusual issue. Since this is a cross-compiler, this should be all stage 1, so in ghc_boot_platform.h I see what I expect:
... #define BUILD_OS "mingw32" #define HOST_OS "mingw32" #define TARGET_OS "ios" ...
but ghcplatform.h shows:
... #define BUILD_OS "mingw32" #define HOST_OS "ios" ... #define TARGET_OS "ios" ...
which I understand to mean that whatever's happening there is set up for the stage 2 compiler (unless there's some good magic happening here with the deriveConstants utility?). I discovered this through a pragma added at the error site:
... rts/Task.h:280:9: note: #pragma message: HOST_OS=ios rts/Task.h:287:5: error: aggregate value used where an integer was expected ...
Anybody know what's going on here? Is it right (for some reason beyond my current comprehension) for ghcplatform.h to have the #defines it does? Is HOST_OS=ios correct, but rts/Task.h:280 should also check defined(ios_HOST_OS)?
Thanks for the help, Alex
