Hi, is there any chance of having hugs compile for the iPhone?<br>
<br>
Cross-compiling? Compiling directly on the iPhone?<br>

The iPhone, like most modern mobile devices, is based on the ARM processor, for which there is currently no GHC port.<br>
<br>
However, jhc outputs portable C code which can be (cross) compiled for ARM. I have succeeded in building Haskell code with jhc on my desktop (x86 Linux), then cross-compiling the resulting C code in a scratchbox environment for my Nokia N810.<br>
<br>
In short, if you can compile C code for the iPhone (cross-compiled or native), you can probably use jhc to turn Haskell into suitable C.<br>
<br>
jhc is not self-hosting, and it requires gcc as a back-end, so it isn't suitable for running on the device.<br>
<br>
See also the GHC-on-ARM project[1], an attempt to port GHC to ARM Linux devices.<br>

I failed completely to mention Hugs: I don't think it exists, but I think someone managed to port it to the Nintendo DS a while back, so it should be possible.<br><font color="#888888">
