(Congratulations to the Caml team!) I noticed a few things that might be of interest to people using Mac OS X 10.1: + You still have to ignore the build failures around labltk-- no surprise there. I suppose there is a workaround for this if you're willing to install XFree86, but I don't need one so I haven't looked for it. All the other tools build and install fine. + I tried to build ocamldoc-pre3 without success. Apparently the ocamldoc build tree relies on successful completion of 'make world' and, since you don't get past the labltk build on a stock OS X box, that won't work. (I'm not sure what to do about this problem...) + The interactive runtime reports that dynamic loading isn't supported on this platform. Given the way the Darwin team was mucking with the mechanism for loading dynamic libraries in OS X while 3.0.4 was in development, I'm not surprised. (My understanding is that it should be pretty stable with 10.1 and beyond.) + The opt.opt make target in ocaml-3.0.4 encounters a mysterious failure with camlp4. If no one on the Caml team has seen it, I'll happily help track it down. Again, my congratulations to the Caml team for kicking some serious tail. -- j h woodyatt ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
