Bug 24889 – OCaml doesn't build with tcl/tk 8.4

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Michael Witrant 2003-07-20 07:10:23 UTC]

OCaml doesn't support tcl/tk 8.4 yet. According to the message[1] in the OCaml
mailing list, only the CVS version works.

make[2]: *** [cltkImg.o] Erreur 1

Sorry, this is the french error. "LC_ALL=C emerge ocaml" didn't change that to
english (why?). You'll find the english error in this message from the OCaml
mailing list: http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200304/msg00385.html


Expected Results:  
Should build...
The ebuild should either apply a patch taken from the CVS version of OCaml, or
block the build when tk 8.4 is installed.

3.07 beta1 was released 2003-07-22. Can we solve the problem by updating to it?

[Comment 3 Michael Witrant 2003-07-25 00:14:01 UTC]

Yes, version 3.07 beta 1 solves the tk8.4 problem.

Actually, I was wrong in my initial report. I thought tk 8.4 was in the main portage tree, because it really is in my system (I made a custom ebuild for tk8.4 months ago). So I changed the severity from blocker to enhancement, since this bug doesn't appear by default.

A new masked 3.07beta1 ebuild could solve the problem for people using tcl/tk 8.4.

[Comment 4 Owen Gunden 2003-08-18 18:15:14 UTC]

have you tried ocaml-3.06-r1 (~x86)?  it seems to be applying the necessary patch:

     epatch ${FILESDIR}/ocaml-3.06-tcltk-8.4compat-patch.bz2

if you haven't already, please test this and see if it fixes?

[Comment 5 Michael Witrant 2003-08-19 02:40:32 UTC]

Yes, it works.

Sorry for this wrong bug report. Looks like it has been fixed since may.
