[Haskell-iPhone] More arm-apple-darwin10-ghc trouble

Mon Dec 23 00:47:30 UTC 2013

Hey Schell,

I think I see the issue — did you see the note in section 6 of
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/CrossCompiling/iOS regarding
the
jobs: $ncpus
option in ~/.cabal/config ?
If you've got that, nuke it and see if that fixes it.

I need to file a bug about that with the Cabal team.

I've also been meaning to warn — I am pretty sure the fat armv7s/armv7
binary approach taken by arm-apple-darwin10-ghc doesn't fully work yet (I
was convinced it did when I implemented it, but recent testing with armv7
and armv7s devices show missing symbols for one arch or the other). I
haven't had nearly the time to work on it and if anyone's looking for a way
to help with GHC iOS that's a great self-contained problem to work on : ).

If we can't get that approach to work (intercepting build commands and
lipoing things together on the fly), there's always the approach of
building one GHC for each armv7 and armv7s, but that's got its own pain
points since GHC calls both of those just "arm" internally and you have to
do some yucky stuff with directory management :/ (that's what I've done
here, and it works at least : )).

Hopefully I'll be out of the woods in my primary work soon and able to
devote more cycles help in cleaning these things up.

Cheers
Luke
