Bugzilla Bug 5786

Hi there, 
 
I've updated the ocaml-3.04 ebuild to ocaml-3.05 and fixed a couple of buglets 
in the process. The new ebuild is attached. 
 
Apparently, the old ebuild did not do a "make installopt" to install the 
optimized compiler. 
 
In addition, the old ebuild did not respect the "tcltk" USE variable. I've 
updated the dependency and added a check for the variable to the src_compile 
section of the Ebuild. This obsoletes bug #5418 
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5418).

Well, it seems that ocaml-3.05 has a new way of configuring/detecting load 
paths for libraries. It uses /usr/lib/ocaml/ld.conf to list library paths, but 
that file contained invalid paths (pointing into the /var/tmp/portage/... 
build tree), which caused some library builds to fail. 
 
I've fixed that (by adding a small "dosed" command to the install portion of 
the ebuild) and attached the revised ebuild.

Hi Bardur

Thanks for a submission!

One question:
in src_compile you have this line:
use tcltk || OPTS="-no-tk"
however OPT is never used again, did you mean myconf in palce of OPT?

Also, I see you removed src_unpack that patched the sources to work on ppc. Did
you remove this because of the note in the ebuild or because you tested it on ppc?

Thanks!

George

Ok, committed Bardur's version (with minor changes)
Please test (masked now, so you'll need to unmask).
Thanks for submissions!

Yup, I missed that one. There's a reason that search/replace is usually done  
automatically, I guess. :)

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a PPC, but I *did* check (visually) that  
the patches for PPC had actually been applied to the (stock) ocaml-3.05  
sources.  
 

Hi Bardur

Thanks for clarification.
Could you please test the committed version and let me know the result, so that
I could unmask it?

George

Seems to work fine. 
 

Oh, and btw: Bug #5865 (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5865) 
should probably be marked as a duplicate of this. (Or vice versa).

Hi,

the src url  ftp://ftp.inria.fr/lang/caml-light/ocaml-3.05.tar.gz (don't worked
for me) changed to http://caml.inria.fr/distrib/ocaml-3.05.tar.gz, I think.

I don't know if this interests someone, but the ebuild works fine with gcc 2.95
and 3.1 for me.

georg sauthoff

the 3.06 version has superceded this.
