This ebuild needs a new category added to portage called dev-ocaml. LablGL is is an Objective Caml interface to OpenGL. Support is included for use inside LablTk, and LablGTK also includes specific support for LablGL. It can be used either with proprietary OpenGL implementations (SGI, Digital Unix, Solaris...), with XFree86 GLX extension, or with open-source Mesa. Here is the README for the current version.

Created attachment 1352 [details] updated ebuild file - includes documentation This updated the .ebuild file in the tar. I added the documentation, which I forgot in the first one.
Not dead yet. This ebuild has been postponed as it is selected to be run through our new ebuild submission system. I've run it through a few times, and it produces various errors; we need help with how well the reported error messages are and how well the ebuild submission system works in general. It will take another few days before I can give you more details, as we need to plug the submission system into bugzilla.
Ok, let me know if I can help. Sean
Yes, you can. I'm currently waiting for the new build system to be hooked into bugzilla (I'm not a perlite, so I've asked another guy to do that part). In the meantime, it'd be most excellent if you could 1) Read http://www.gentoo.org/~karltk/projects/munchie/submission-guide.html 2) Get the eball I packaged for your submission at http://www.gentoo.org/~karltk/projects/munchie/submissions/labl-1.0.zip 3) Get the latest munchie from http://www.gentoo.org/~karltk/projects/munchie/ 4) Run the eball through munchie, fix any bugs you notice and when it all seems to work perfectly, attach the fixed eball to this bug, along with any comments about the process/tool/documentation that you notice.
Karl, I did what you said and had a few problems. I had to update the Munchie script a bit to get it to work at all. It never seemed to copy the .zip file to the temp/munchie/work dir. Then I modified the link to point to my lintool and still no luck. Missing the --formatter from lintool. I did an emerge rsync and then emerge gentoolkit, and the new lintool still has no --formatter option. Is this a personal or masked verion of lintool? Also, I'm uploading a better zip package then the one you have on your site. So, you may want to update your collection from the file here. Thanks, Sean

Bug 5966 seems to be a slightly updated version of the ebuild. Is the category going to end up being dev-ocaml or dev-ml. If dev-ml I should likely make a few updates to the ebuild. Maybe we should grab the ebuild from the other bug and test against that?
I think we go for dev-ml. We have already dev-lisp, where not all of the packages are mutually compatible, so getting into the same pickle with dev-ml will at least make us consistent :) If you have the time to whip up a new eball with the ebuild from #5966, then test with munchie 1.2 or later (to be uploaded tomorrow), that'd be great.
