I forgot to mention an important thing: You will need the Cabal changes from Luke's pull request at https://github.com/haskell/cabal/pull/1214

I suggest you check out the normal Cabal, then add the above as a new remote and pull from it. (I am not sure exactly which URL to use.)

Alex,

I can't help much because I'm even more confused than you are about
subprojects on the ghc-ios repos. Try this:

1. Clone your http://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc repo locally to give
yourself a clean checkout.
2. Go into it and check out the 'master' branch: git checkout master
3. Point the 'origin' remote at the central ghc repo.
4. Now do
   ./sync-all --no-dph get
   (This will get the stock standard subprojects, just exactly how
things would work for a normal ghc checkout from ghc HQ.)
5. Now back to the branch: git checkout master-merge-ios
6. Now you can point 'origin' back to ghc-ios/master-merge-ios again if
you want.
7. Follow the rest of the build instructions.

and then:

    Maybe you haven't done './sync-all get'? at boot line 74, <PACKAGES>
    line 53.


which I suppose makes sense since the Cabal checkout failed...

    Thanks Simon - I've added that to a list of loose ends on the

    <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7722>, so everything
    should now be working.

    Anyone who wants to try it now should either apply all the patches

        Great.  The point about dead-code removal is interesting: we have
        special hacks so that you don't have to disable dead-code
        removal on OS
        X, in the native code generator and (I presume) in the LLVM
backend.
        Perhaps this just needs to be adapted to work on iOS too?

        On the other hand, the special hack involves adding lots of extra
        symbols, so perhaps it's better to just disable dead-code
removal.

        Cheers,
              Simon
