3.09 release of ocaml apparently had keywords dropped for your arch, I couldn't find any reason nor any trace of a notification about it. Could you please have a look at it ? And if there is a problem, please report it, perhaps we can arrange something ;)
Works fine on ~ia64, ~ia64 done.
Marked the greatest version ~hppa.

(In reply to comment #3) > Build failure on this system, probably because configure needs to be patched > yet again: hmmm that seems to be a bigger issue than configure patching I found this : http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=4147 http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=3937 since xleroy is one of the head developpers, this does not seem to be good news... Perhaps adding the -compact -inline 0 options could help but that just tells ocamlopt to optimize for size and not inlining afaik. btw, it does work for ocaml 3.08.4 right ? esp. the last comment in 3937 makes me think that it's probably better to not have hppa support... what's your opinion about it ? a workaround would be to disable make opt.opt for hppa, thus you'll get bytecode versions of the compilers but not native code ones. from ocaml INSTALL file : <quote> 5- (Optional) If you want to compile fast versions of the Objective Caml compilers, you can compile them with the native-code compiler (they are compiled to bytecode by default). Just do: make opt.opt Later, you can compile your programs to bytecode using ocamlc.opt instead of ocamlc, and to native-code using ocamlopt.opt instead of ocamlopt. The ".opt" compilers should run faster than the normal compilers, especially on large input files, but they may take longer to start due to increased code size. If compilation times are an issue on your programs, try the ".opt" compilers to see if they make a significant difference. </quote> so this shouldn't be an issue to not have 'em as other packages shouldn't assume you have the .opt versions.

Indeed. However, someone might still fix it at some point, if only for the speed advantage. :) > Perhaps adding the -compact -inline 0 options could help but that just tells > ocamlopt to optimize for size and not inlining afaik.

Well, if the above extra options don't do it, let's not support native code. > so this shouldn't be an issue to not have 'em as other packages shouldn't > assume you have the .opt versions. We will just have to make do with a slower ocaml / ml programs, then.
Created attachment 119281 [details, diff] patch to build on hppa ?

I've discussed with one of debian's ocaml maintainers, they dont have native code support for hppa, m68k, mips and s390 due to non or poor support. hppa seemed to be the closest one for good support afaik, they had called for help on this but without much luck :(
(In reply to comment #7) > Created an attachment (id=119281) [edit] > patch to build on hppa ? That works! Pity there is not test suite, though. Please fit it into the ebuild as works for you and report back, then I will check it out and will very likely keyword it for HPPA.

Ok good, I've added the patch which is applied only for hppa (as this is counter optimizations for ocamlp4). As a test I think the best way is to test ocaml packages on the architecture. For ocamlp4, I've found that dev-ml/ocamlnet uses it (unfortunately not keyworded for you) there are probably other packages aswell. Feel free to add/modify some comments in the patch or the ebuild about this if you think mines are incorrect or can be made better ;) Now on something different : it seems that "recent" binutils caused problems for alpha, see : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338437 If you can trigger it, just try "use alpha && append-ldflags "-Wl,--no-relax"". As we now support user cflags / ldflags for ocaml this should just work fine.
Thanks for the patch! Keyworded ~hppa again.
~alpha done
probably better to go directly to 3.10.0 nowadays...
~arm added, closing
