[Caml-list] Mapping between ocamlbuild and ocamlc versions

[Caml-list] Mapping between ocamlbuild and ocamlc versions

[Soegtrop, Michael]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1075 bytes --]

Dear OCaml Team,

I wonder if there is a mapping table between ocamlbuild github labels and ocamlc versions. As far as I understand after ocamlbuild 4.02.3 a new labeling/versioning scheme was introduced for ocamlbuild which currently appears to be at 0.12.0.

Which label of ocamlbuild am I supposed to use with ocaml 4.06? Is it so that unless I have special requirements to ocamlbuild I can use ocamlbuild label 4.02.3 for any newer version of ocaml? Is this the recommended way of doing it?

Best regards,

Michael

ocamlbuild was removed from the compiler distribution starting with 4.03.0. So it’s now the case that you can use the 0.x version with any version of OCaml after 4.02.3.

Dear David,

Thanks, for the info. What I still don't get: is the 4.02.3 version of ocamlbuild the latest official release version and the 0.X version are somehow experimental?

Weirdly, I don’t think ocamlbuild was ever an officially supported tool (its original purpose in 3.10.0 was to aid with camlp4’s complex bootstrap).

Weird as it may seem, yes 0.2 > 4.02.3 in this context. However, I don’t think you can build the 4.02.3 tag in 4.03.0+ without patching and you’re not supposed to use the 0.x versions with 4.02.3 and earlier.

Hope that vaguely helps!


David

Dear David,

Hope that vaguely helps!

yes, I try my luck with 0.12 for ocaml 4.03 to 4.06 and see what happens. Btw.: I need it to build menhir.

Is there a reason you don't want to use OPAM for this?  Once you have OPAM
set up, and an OPAM "switch" created for your compiler, adding menhir is
usually as easy as `opam install menhir` :-).

You can actually compile menhir without ocamlbuild, the actuall compile
of the first stage menhir is not that complicated and if you want I can
send you a makefile + some instructions to perform the build.

FWIW Fedora builds ocamlbuild 0.12.0 with OCaml 4.06 & 4.07-rc1
and there didn't seem to be any problem.
