please attach the full build log; nothing in the makefile shows that 'install' should call 'uninstall' first :/ (which is what is happening here)

I have also tried rebuilding the few ocaml libs and programs I have with USE=-ocamlopt, but it still fails the same way.

[Comment 4 Alexis Ballier 2015-07-03 13:30:52 UTC]

hmmm, can you try with /bin/sh as bash ?

[Comment 5 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2015-07-04 13:27:44 UTC]

Good catch, I completely missed configure almost-failing-but-not-quite.

I tried fixing the obvious == into =, but it still fails elsewhere. Rerunning eautoreconf fails due to missing macros (notably AC_PROG_OCAML).

I guess the best fix is to call econf with CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash

this is dev-ml/ocaml-autoconf

yep could be the easiest thing to do, but if you/we have an upstreamable fix it's much better :)

Ah! Thanks for the pointers, I'll take another swing at it then!

Here's the upstream patch. The "==" was fairly obvious, but it took me a bit longer to figure out that "&>" isn't kosher in POSIX. This seems to work ok with both bash and dash.

And here's the ebuild patch. I'm not 100% confident about the autotools eclass part, I'm not quite sure about the WANT_* variables. Maybe you'll have a better clue.

[Comment 10 Alexis Ballier 2015-07-13 13:36:21 UTC]

great, thanks; could you please send a pull request at https://github.com/rdicosmo/parmap ?

for WANT_* variables, they default to 'latest' which is the best choice; those variables are there when packages that require older versions and for which it is not easy to port them

[Comment 11 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) 2015-07-13 19:45:23 UTC]

Damn! I thought I could weasel out of going to upstream with the patch! :p

Anyway: https://github.com/rdicosmo/parmap/pull/36

Cheers
