[Caml-list] Building Ocaml-4.00 with GODI

[Caml-list] Building Ocaml-4.00 with GODI

[Gerd Stolpmann]

Hi,

I've just released a package for OCaml-4.00. Note that this is still  
experimental, and not every package can be installed yet. But the most  
important things have already been fixed.

Please use this bootstrap:

http://download.camlcity.org/download/godi-skylift-20120720.tar.gz

The default here is still 3.12, so please change it to 4.00 when you  
are prompted for the OCaml version. To install, just unpack this  
archive, and run

./bootstrap

I ran tests on Linux, OS X, Win32 (32 bit only, with mingw64),  
OpenSolaris, and FreeBSD. Win32 is a bit more complicated, as you need  
Cygwin with the _right_ packages. The easiest way is to use Sébastien  
Fricker's installer on https://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/cygwingodi/  
(GODISetup.exe).

There is still a lot to do until the same quality is reached as for  
3.12. If you like to help, you are very welcome - just sign up to the  
GODI mailing list, and send a message:
