If so, chances are very high that the bytecode interpreter will compile and work right out of the box. For the native-code compiler, the porting effort can range from the trivial (e.g. one of the supported configurations just happens to work) to the fairly hard (e.g. a new code generator has to be written). It's not possible to say without more details on the target platform and environment. - Xavier Leroy ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
