[Haskell-cafe] Announcing GHC iOS

[Luke Iannini]

Hi Dominick,
Hm, this should have been fixed by
http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7700 .

When you say you downloaded GHC, do you mean you cloned GHC HEAD (e.g. git
clone git://git.haskell.org/ghc.git ?) — the patches have only just landed
: ).

Also can you give us an idea of what your build environment is? (OS
version, Xcode version etc)

Cheers
Luke
