Unison build problem

Unison build problem

[Christian Szegedy]

I try to build the stable unison with OCaml 3.08.2 on my Gentoo box and 
I have the following problem:

ubase/uprintf.o(.text+0x29a): In function `camlUprintf__fun_144':
: undefined reference to `format_int'
ubase/uprintf.o(.text+0x2fa): In function `camlUprintf__fun_147':
: undefined reference to `format_float'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Are you using the ebuild? If you're not, please do. If you are, it should
automatically patch unison.

In any case: When using Gentoo it is always a good idea to search their
bugzilla before asking others about build problems... A simple search for
"unison" would have sufficed in this case.

Fwd: [Caml-list] Unison build problem

[Sachin Shah]

(Sorry, I replied to Christian only, initially)

Hi,

Here (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2004-July/014575.html)
is a patch that was released for unison 2.9.20 (the current stable is
only 2.9.1-r1 on gentoo).

The reason there is a problem is that these two are external
functions, and so their names have been prefixed with 'caml_', making
them caml_format_int and caml_format_float.  To fix, simply download
the sources using emerge (don't compile), effect the changes manually
since the patch is for freeBSD and may not work on Gentoo, and
continue the compilation.  It should work then.

Regards,

Sachin.

You are right, I too quick on posting.  However, I did not use
emerge as I have my own version OCaml. I simply tried to
compile unision manually, and I failed to compile the GKT
GUI, but I do not want to annoy the list anymore.

I run gentoo and use O'Caml and unison regularly.  I have found that
installing O'Caml and unison through GODI works better than using the
ebuilds OR doing it yourself.
