<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all!<br></div><div>(in case you don't read /r/haskell : ))<br></div><div><br></div><div><div>Stephen Blackheath and I are extremely happy to report that as of today, GHC can natively build binaries for iOS devices and the iOS Simulator.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You'll find everything you need here: <a href="http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/CrossCompiling/iOS">http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/CrossCompiling/iOS</a></div><div><br>
</div>
<div>The short of it is you can use "ghc-ios myFiles.hs" to get a universal ARMv7/ARMv7s/i386 static library to drop straight into an Xcode project.</div><div><br></div><div>Stephen's already working on some wonderful FRP-powered games, I'm working on a project called SpaceTime that I'll announce shortly, and you may now all begin creating insanely great iOS software using the finest language in the world : ).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Stephen deserves the lion's share of the credit for this project — it's been over 3 years in the making! Many thanks to Maxwell Swadling for generalizing static library builds into a -staticlib flag for GHC, Carter Schonwald for compilation guidance, and the venerable Austin Seipp for reviewing and merging our patches.</div>
