Hi Mark: Just a quick iOS update. I grabbed the latest from your git repo and from my initial work at implementing the required glib methods that you're using, I now have it running on both my iPad and iPhone4S. I don't look at the glib source - I just google the missing function name and implement it based on what the docs describe. It spits out (to the debug console) the same output as OSX shows when running "./cljc" from the Terminal, which would be: "(4 5)"
I took a snap of xcode running (with the "(4 5)" ) and dumped it here: http://antimass.org/clojure/cljc_xcode.png As you can see, there are some "Unused variable 'env'" and "Expression result unused" warnings which I'll probably just disable. But the main item I was trying to determine from all this, was that it would be possible to use your clojurec work under iOS, which now looks very doable! The only change I really had to make to the generated cljc.c file was change main() -> main_ios() which I call from [AppDelegate application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions]. I'll clean it up and commit to my github clojurec repo branch and then I'll do a pull request later this weekend/Monday. I'll also pop my signed Clojure Contribution Agreement in the mail tomorrow incase that's needed. Again, thanks for your work on clojurec! And to David Nolen for ClojureScript - I do most of my play in ClojureScript and it's REPL (mainly playing with WebGL as it ties into my day job. :) I just want to have the option to compile it out to C and then release in the App Store(s).
