My shiny new Nokia N900 has finally arrived so, of course, having got bash,
vim and texlive successfully installed I naturally need a compiler!
Before I dig into trying to compile OCaml on Maemo 5, can I ask if anyone
else out there has already tried (and hopefully succeeded)?

What I did is: - followed their installation instructions - just for fun, tried once in my life to lunch open-office on a PDA :) - played with localepurge (apt-get install localepurge) and many apt-get remove and apt-get clean, to make space to install ocaml & co But you can provide your own debian tree or disk-image to the easy-debian scripts (I did not try but they say so). > > I got access to all the ocaml packages which are available on debian-ARM. >> Everything I tried worked perfectly (but I only tried "text mode" apps). >> > > GTK is part of mameo, so with luck, lablGTK should also > work.

Yes, I've tried similar years ago on the N800 (Maemo 4, however). I ran into this problem at that time: http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=3746. The ARM code generator was changed since then (will be released in Ocaml 3.12). Haven't tried that yet, though. So far I remember the byte code compiler was no problem at all. Only the native-code compiler had these problems with FP instructions. Gerd > > David > > > > _______________________________________________ > Caml-list mailing list.

No, I've mostly been playing with Vala since I got mine, but I'd love to hear how you manage with it. It's definitely on my to-do list. martin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I had the same experience with 3.11.2 - the error message from configure could be better, but that won't matter once it's fixed in 3.12.0 (as you say).

It's definitely on my to-do list. Enabling the SDK repository allowed me to install bash, make, gcc, libc6-dev, tcl8.5-dev, tk8.5-dev and libx11-dev. (aside, which probably demonstrates my ignorance more than a bug/problem in anything: I've never used aptitude before - I was amused that installing gcc doesn't automatically upgrade glibc to the dev version as you end up with a C compiler which can't link. Couldn't quite imagine a situation where that's handy but hey ho!) OCaml 3.12.0+dev17 compiles out of the box (using -prefix /opt/maemo) - ocamlbrowser works (i.e. labltk) and ocamlopt is fine. The reference run of a command line app of mine takes 5 mins 20 sec (impressive as it takes 31 seconds on my Intel P8600 laptop and used to take about 4:30 on the machine on which it was originally developed).
