I've been playing around with the idea of getting pike to run on
apple embedded devices. I don't have an iphone, but I do have an ipod
touch, which is essentially the same thing. I managed to get gmp and
nettle to compile, but without assembler. It's not clear at this
point whether the problem is due to incorrect detection of the
assembly type, or some other problem.
Pike's configure script seems to run correctly, but my current
problem is that the current iphone toolchain uses LLVM-GCC, which is
pretty buggy, and it crashes while compiling multiset.c. I'm not sure
whether I want to go through the effort of trying to fix that problem
or if using straight gcc would work better (assuming that gcc
generates arm objects for darwin).
Anyhow, I thought that some out there might be interested in this.
