Cool! By cross-compilation, I assume you mean, a version of GHC which runs on x86, but generates ARM assembly? Another option might be to use a nintendo DS emulator which has been configured to support more RAM and CPU power ? A true cross-compiler would be nice though, because it will run much faster. GHC does have some support for cross-compilation, but in the current implementation, it is mostly (entirely?) there for bootstrapping. I have no idea how the ghc backend rewrite for 6.10 will affect this. Hope this helps, j. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
