Hello everyone,
I wrote an article about writing iPhone apps in Scheme about 8 months ago here:
http://jlongster.com/blog/2009/06/17/write-apps-iphone-scheme/
If any of you all are using this, I wanted to update you. That information is getting a little old. I have created a page on my site which I will be continually updating with information on how to setup development for the iPhone with Gambit. You can find it here:
http://jlongster.com/software/iphone/scheme-iphone-example/
The biggest change is that it's much easier to compile Gambit for the iPhone now. I have create a script called `configure-iphone` which wraps around "./configure" and sets up all the build options for the iPhone appropriately (link with right SDK, cross-compile possibly). More information about this script can be found here:
http://jlongster.com/software/iphone/configure-iphone/
I will be posting more and more libraries which you will need if you are doing OpenGL programming on the iPhone. So far, here's what is available:
Touch and accelerometer events: http://jlongster.com/blog/2009/07/20/touch-accelerometer-functionality-iphon... Remote debugging: http://jlongster.com/blog/2009/07/05/remotely-debugging-iphone-scheme/ Font rendering with FTGLES: http://jlongster.com/blog/2010/02/08/fonts-ugh/
FTGLES is my most recent work, and you can find Scheme bindings in the above article which I just posted. I will put up my .obj loader soon and any other libraries I have developed in Gambit.
I'm not really trying to plug my website, but I really want other people to do developing OpenGL games in Gambit, and the iPhone is a good place to start! Let me know if you have any questions are opinions! Thanks!

fwiw, the documentation for configure-iphone appears to be incorrect. You need to specify -v before the version. The docs say you can simply call it thus:
configure-iphone 3.1.2 -t os -- --enable-single-host
but this doesn't work. You need something like:
configure-iphone -v 3.1.2 -t os -- --enable-single-host

Thanks, there was a commit that I forgot to push out. The docs were correct, and the program should behave that way now.
