[web-devel] [yesod][newbie] Yesod applications on foreign architectures

[Daniel Patterson]

You can also get an instance from amazon for free for a year... after the year is up (assuming pricing hasnt changed) it'll be much cheaper to host via a VPS, but you can do that for probably 8$/month if you can build in a local VM (linking memory requirements are massive, so either you pay for a lot of memory that you only use when building, bring you server to a grinding halt as it hard swaps for 20 minutes, or build locally and deploy the binaries)

I was just looking for any input before I did anything crazy on their servers. Thanks for all the help, Michael. If I find anything earth-shattering, I'll be sure to post it to the list.

I'm not sure how compatible Yesod and ghc-6.4 will be with one another. Perhaps I'll make a project of it. The environment has most of the necessary build tools, as far as I can see, so I can probably pull it off as long as I play nicely. There wouldn't happen to be a way to get a gcc config/makefile combo out of a Yesod project, would there? :D
