[erlang-questions] Compiling Erlang for the iPhone

[Uwe Dauernheim]

Hi all,

I'd like to compile Erlang for the iPhone. Since I read in the Readme  
(and could already do it myself) it is possible to compile it for Mac  
OS X. So I thought compiling it for the iPhone should also be  
possible. But I don't get it to work. I tried cross compiling it on my  
Mac and also direct compile it on the iPhone. Neither method works.  
Maybe I don't know what to change, to make it iPhone compatible. Below  
you can see my testing script. Maybe someone find the missing value or  
the error?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Uwe.
