Re: [Haskell-cafe] Status of GHC as a Cross Compiler

2009-09-24 Thread Ben Lippmeier


No, GHC won't be a native cross compiler in 6.12. There are #ifdefs  
through the code which control what target architecture GHC is being  
compiled for, and at the moment it doesn't support the host  
architecture being different from the target architecture.


I did some work on the native code generator this year which cleans up  
some of this, but it still needs several more weeks put into it to  
make it a real cross compiler.


Cheers,
Ben.

not. Can some one point me to the correct place in Traq to find this
