hubFS: THE place for F#

Greetings!
I'd like to know is it possible to compile application written in F# to Compact Framework.

Actually, I tried to compile and added references to Compact Framework versions of System, System.Data and WinForms assemblies. But compiled application has reference to FSharp.Core.dll and this dll has references to non-CF assemblies.

So, is it possible to use F# for CF programming or not ?

Hi Mirrorer:

Quite a few versions ago, I wrote a "Hello, World" WinForms app and successfully ran it on my Windows Mobile 6 phone.  As I recall, you must use the "--standalone" flag along with pointing "--clr-root" at the right mscorelib.dll.  Run "fsc --full-help" for additional switches that may be needed.

However, note that your resulting application will be at least 1MB in size, and so will take quite a long time to initialize.  I was not successful in reducing the size down from there.  <IAmNotALawyer>It *may* be legal to copy the DLL's to your CF device, as long as it is for personal use and not for distribution, but *please* read the EULA carefully.</IAmNotALawyer>  Even then, it may not reduce startup time.

Hi jhugard! thanks for help. I'll try it.

Really, "fsc --full-help" is really helpful switch :)
