Subject: Bounty: OCaml 4.11.1
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2020 22:37:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <52B73A5E-3C0F-4F28-97B7-FA6B288F9921@greymanlabs.com> (raw)

Hello,

OCaml 4.07 is in ports (great work, btw), but it’s getting stale. I’d like to try my hand at porting other tools (like dune and opam), but they won’t work with something so old. Also, newer versions support more architectures (arm, specifically).

I tried porting it myself, but it relies heavily on aligned memory blocks that are generated in preprocessor macros, and I gave up trying to figure out how that could be done in plan9.

I’ll pay $100 for a working port of OCaml 4.11.1

Must have:
 * a working build system for OCaml
 * working ‘ocaml’ REPL / interpreter capable of running .ml files
 * working ‘ocamlc’
 * working ‘ocamlopt’

I think the binaries will probably all just fall out of a working build environment.

Thanks!
