compiling virt-mem 0.3.1 with ocaml 3.11.0

[Florent Monnier <fmonnier@linux-nantes.fr.eu.org>]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile "virt-mem" 0.3.1 with ocaml 3.11.0.
The compilation fails with the following files :
kernel.ml, virt_mem_ksyms.ml, virt_mem_mmap.ml, virt_mem_utsname.ml
which use a camlp4 extension.
I have not learned camlp4 yet, so I don't know how to fix this,
could someone tell me how to correct this ?


ocamlfind ocamldep -package \
 unix,bigarray,extlib,libvirt,xml-light,bitstring.syntax -package 
gettext-stub -syntax bitstring.syntax kernel.mli virt_mem.mli 
virt_mem_kallsyms.mli virt_mem_ksyms.mli virt_mem_mmap.mli virt_mem_types.mli 
virt_mem_utsname.mli kernel.ml test_mmap.ml virt_mem.ml virt_mem_capture.ml 
virt_mem_dump.ml virt_mem_gettext.ml virt_mem_kallsyms.ml virt_mem_kernels.ml 
virt_mem_ksyms.ml virt_mem_mmap.ml virt_mem_types.ml virt_mem_utils.ml 
virt_mem_utsname.ml virt_mem_version.ml  > .depend

File "kernel.ml", line 1001, characters 6-7:
Parse error: ":" expected after [patt] (in [patt_field])
Preprocessing error on file kernel.ml

File "virt_mem_ksyms.ml", line 175, characters 9-10:
Parse error: ":" expected after [patt] (in [patt_field])
Preprocessing error on file virt_mem_ksyms.ml

File "virt_mem_mmap.ml", line 366, characters 6-7:

File "virt_mem_utsname.ml", line 47, characters 6-7:
Parse error: ":" expected after [patt] (in [patt_field])
Preprocessing error on file virt_mem_utsname.ml


And I can not just rm .depend to see if it can build from there, because of 
packaging purpose, when a command doesn't return 0 the process just stops!

I think bitstring is correctly installed:

$ ls /usr/lib/ocaml/bitstring/
META           bitstring.cmxa            bitstring_persistent.cmx
bitmatch.cmx   bitstring.mli             bitstring_persistent.cmxa

bitstring.cmi  bitstring_persistent.cma  libbitstring.a

$ cat /usr/lib/ocaml/bitstring/META 
name = "bitstring"
version = "2.0.0"
description = "Bitstrings and bitstring matching"

archive(byte) = "bitstring.cma"
archive(native) = "bitstring.cmxa"

package "persistent" (
  requires = "bitstring"
  version = "2.0.0"
  description = "Persistent patterns for bitstring (requires camlp4)"
  archive(byte) = "bitstring_persistent.cma"
  archive(native) = "bitstring_persistent.cmxa"
)

package "syntax" (
  version = "2.0.0"
  description = "Syntax extension: bitstring operators"
  archive(syntax,preprocessor) = "unix.cma bitstring.cma 
bitstring_persistent.cma pa_bitstring.cmo"
  archive(syntax,toploop) = "unix.cma bitstring.cma bitstring_persistent.cma 
pa_bitstring.cmo"
  preprocessor = "camlp4of"
)

If I add -verbose on the command line here is what I get :

$ ocamlfind ocamlc -verbose -dtypes -g -syntax bitstring.syntax -package 
unix,bigarray,extlib,libvirt,xml-light,bitstring.syntax -package 
gettext-stub -c virt_mem_mmap.ml

Thanks

PS: In case there would be interested people, it's not strictly required to be 
a Mandriva user to package (or ponctually help packaging) for Mandriva, 
because there are machines available through ssh where one can do the job.
   So for instance for this current problem that I don't know how to fix 
because I don't know camlp4 yet, a helper someone could log through ssh, fix 
it and commit the fix.
If there's noone interested, just forget it :)
