Can you describe how you managed to build it and which environment you use? > main = putStrLn "Hello, World" > > I get an executable, which I can run on my android device. Unfortantly > it segfaults. just a random idea, does main = error "Hello, World" work?

Right. I was talking about the situation on Linux, hopefully I'm totally wrong with that statement :) How can I build GHC without glibc on Linux? What should I use instead? That would certainly help.

There are some comments regarding porting git-annex to android, in order to make it useable from shell (that is, not as android app). http://git-annex.branchable.com/design/assistant/android/ The main issue: The GHC runtime relies on glibc, which is not used on android. Also, glibc cannot be (fully) linked statically. Probably someone with more knowledge about GHC internals and glibc can came up with a clean solution to this problem. > An additional issue: ghci (and Template Haskell because it uses the > bytecode interpreter of ghci internally) currently(?) requires its own > custom linker instead of being able to use the system linker.

ghc-mod and FFI
Hi, recently I run into an issue using ghc-mod, as described here: https://github.com/kazu-yamamoto/ghc-mod/issues/75 In summary, ghc-mod fails if the source file contains a `foreign' declaration. I played around a bit, but I have no experience with the GHC API, so any help is appreciated!
