One more +porting day.. + +Last night I managed to get all of Yesod to build for Android. +I even successfully expanded some Template Haskell used in yesod-form. And +am fairly confident I could manually expand all the TH in there, so it's +actually useable without TH. Most of the TH is just commented out for now. + +However, programs using Yesod didn't link; lots of missing symbols. I have +been fighting to fix those all day today. + +Finally, I managed to build [the yesod-pure demo server](https://gist.github.com/snoyberg/3870834/raw/212f0164de36524291df3ab35788e2b72d8d1e75/fib.hs), +and I have a working web server on Android! It listens for requests, it logs +them correctly, and it replies to requests. I did cripple yesod's routing +code in my hack-n-slash port of it, so it fails to *display* any pages, +but never has "Internal Server Error" in a web browser been such a sweet +sight. ;-) + +At this point, I estimate about 1 or 2 weeks work to get to an Android +webapp. I'd need to: + +1. More carefully port Yesod, manually expanding all Template Haskell + as I went, rather than commenting it all out like I did this time. +2. Either develop a tool to automatically expand Hamlet TH splices + (preferred; seems doable), or convert all the webapp's templates + to not use Hamlet. + +----- + +I've modified 38 Haskell libraries so far to port them to Android. Mostly +small hacks, but eep this is a lot of stuff to keep straight. |
