Hi Neil,

Thanks for the reply. As I'm interested in porting YHC to the Lego
Mindstorms NXT, I am guessing that I would need to be more familiar with the
source...at present I am trying to work through the instructions on porting
the tool on the site, but also would like to know which pieces are the bare
minimum for having a working YHC VM.

The plan is to have YHC layered on top of the NXT firmware with some API
wrappers for using the lego drivers. So for the VM I am trying to figure out
where such an API would fit in with the existing framework and what files
need to be involved...I was planning to write this interface in C originally
but now I see that the source is in Haskell, so I'll have my hands full with
that :)  but first I'm just surveying the YHC stuff to see how it fits.

Another option someone mentioned was to have GCC convert code to abstract C
and then run that...does YHC do something similar using STG/abstract C??

Cheers,

If you give us a quick hint at what you are most interested in we can
point you in the right direction :)

Bootstrapping stuff, hand written hi files

Left over stuff.

The good stuff!

interactive  = yhci
packages = Haskell libraries
tester  = test framework
compiler98 = the compiler
libraries = Yhc.Core stuff
runtime = yhi
translator = javascript stuff

Thanks

Neil
