Yes, this is what I understood. I wasn't talking about portable *binaries*, just about the ARM platforms which were efficient enough to run GHC. I guessed one would have to re-compile her/his code with every platform (but is that a big deal?). 2011/9/28 Karel Gardas <karel.gar...@centrum.cz> > On 09/28/11 10:42 AM, Yves Parès wrote: > >> So currently, it's okay to make Haskell code that targets Android >> smartphones, the Beagleboard, the Raspberry Pi or the OpenPandora as long >> as >> you use the development version of GHC? >> > > No, it's not that easy.
