[Haskell-iPhone] ghc-iphone with recent OSX & XCode

[Stephen Blackheath [to GHC-iPhone]]

Thomas,

There were a number of problems, so it took a bit of persuading.  I've 
got it working on the simulator only so far.

One of the problems was to do with "UNIX2003 decorations".  Apparently 
Xcode 3.2.5 only works for simulator builds if you use the latest SDK, 
namely 4.2.  The error if you get this wrong is this at runtime:

---
Detected an attempt to call a symbol in system libraries that is not 
present on the iPhone: munmap$UNIX2003 called from function gen_map_mblocks
---

According to posts on the web, this isn't a problem for the device.

So, I've posted a simulator-only version of GHC-iPhone for Xcode 3.2.5, 
so you can get developing, and once I get the remaining problems out, 
I'll post a complete version.  (It's quite slow to try things and 
re-compile.)  I'm trying to get some work done on the device this week 
if I can.

The file is ghc-iphone-binary-1.5.1-sdk-4.2-simulator-only.tar.bz2 at 
the usual GHC-iPhone download location:

http://dev.ipwnstudios.com/ghc-iphone/

(If it's not there when you read this, please wait a while - my network 
connection is behaving very badly.)

Set your SDK to 4.2, and C compiler to GCC-4.2 (in the 'GetInfo' dialog 
at the top-level of your project tree on the left).
