Hi Robert,
Thanks so much for getting in touch!
Entirely my fault, too many extant GHC checkouts : ).
Just needed to cherry-pick a couple of commits to update dependencies.
I'm giving it a full workthrough now and I'll push as soon as it's
sorted.
Cheers
Luke

Hi everyone,
Last night I spoke to two very helpful folks (Stephen and Luke) on the matter of ghc-ios not building for me. I haven't reached a solution yet and thought I would post my issue. Stephen thought maybe there was a version mismatch with Cabal, but Luke didn't seem to have any problems building..
Any thoughts on what is going wrong here?
I'm following the directions EXPLICITLY from: https://github.com/ghc-ios/ghc/wiki
I seem to have done the git branch selection properly:
macbook-air:ghc rcl$ cd libraries/Cabal/Cabal/ macbook-air:Cabal rcl$ git branch * ios
I'm using:
macbook-air:ghc rcl$ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.1
macbook-air:ghc rcl$ llc --version Low Level Virtual Machine (http://llvm.org/): llvm version 3.0 Optimized build. Built Nov 25 2012 (23:35:46). Host: x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0 Host CPU: i686
Registered Targets: alpha - Alpha [experimental] arm - ARM …
MacBook-Air:~ rcl$ uname -a Darwin MacBook-Air.local 12.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.2.0: Sat Aug 25 00:48:52 PDT 2012; root:xnu-2050.18.24~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
Mac OS X 10.8.2
Things I've tried since starting:
At first, I had LLVM 3.1 so I switched. Then I had the latest GHC 'Haskell Package' which was 7.4.2, the wiki recommends 7.4.2 so I installed this older version from Haskell Package 2012.2.0.0 64bit. Then I thought perhaps I need to install 32 bit Haskell Package; I did this (7.4.1) and it also fails.
When compiling ghc, Cabal fails:
[68 of 68] Compiling Main ( utils/ghc-cabal/Main.hs, bootstrapping/Main.o )
utils/ghc-cabal/Main.hs:287:67: Couldn't match expected type `Data.ByteString.Lazy.Internal.ByteString' with actual type `String' In the return type of a call of `toUTF8' In the second argument of `writeFileAtomic', namely `(toUTF8 content)' In a stmt of a 'do' block: writeFileAtomic (distdir "inplace-pkg-config") (toUTF8 content) make[1]: *** [utils/ghc-cabal/dist/build/tmp/ghc-cabal] Error 1
The build starts off like this:
