Thanks for the heads-up, ARM is not that essential, and PowerPC would be sufficient for my purposes a.t.m. Cheers, Gabor On 7/11/12, Karel Gardas wrote: > > Hi Gabor, > > thanks a lot for your effort on GHC cross-compilation. You are talking > about cross-compiling to ARM too. I would like

Hi all, coming back on the cross compilers issue. As you know, I had a working PPC cross compiler in a github fork that did not require any alien tools, just a cross-gcc to distill all characteristics of the platform that are needed by GHC. Unfortunately this fork has bitrotten somewhat (mostly b
