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! George

There's a reason that search/replace is usually done automatically, I guess. :) > 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? 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. georg sauthoff
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the 3.06 version has superceded this.
