Hi,
has anyone managed to install OCaml+OPAM on a IBM BlueGenemachine?
- When I try to compile the OCaml compiler with gcc, I get a Makefile
error related to a missing none.o file.
- To install OPAM, I do the following:
|wget https://raw.github.com/ocaml/opam/master/shell/opam_installer.sh -O - | sh -s /usr/local/bin/
but OPAM tells me it does not have a binary distribution for my architecture (ppc64)
- I tried to compile the code into bytecode on an Intel machine and copy it to the BlueGene, but the ocamlrun ppc won't
execute the bytecode generated for Intel. Is there an endianness incompatibility in the bytecodes?
I don't know what else I can do to make my code run on a BlueGene machine (Mira at Argonne), and I am trying to convince people
that HPC is not only limited to Fortran or C/C++ using MPI and OpenMP :-(
Help !!!
Anthony

Hi Louis,
Thank you very much for your help!
Using the current development version of OCaml, everything compiles
perfectly under ppc64.
I could also install opam with no problem.

Can you please tell us about the patches applied on top of 4.02.3 to get it
compiling? I've already compiled opam using ocaml 4.01 or 4.02 on ppc64el
without any issues. So, I am a bit surprised. Maybe I've missed something
though.

FWIW, the same question applies even one consider ppc64 (big endian), s390
or s390x. In my experience, all four architectures didn't cause issues wrt.
ocaml projects (or ocaml itself). So, I'm genuinely interested in hearing
what could go (or went) wrong there and how observed issues were fixed.
ocamlopt is certainly not available everywhere and sometimes, one has to
put a little patch relevant on bytecode architectures. but i didn't see more
complex or deep issues there.

Using ocaml 4.03.0+dev12-2015-11-20 solved the problem, but I don’t more.

I've faced this issue when using OPAM on bytecode architectures (i.e. no
ocamlopt available) : "opam switch" seems to unconditionally call *opt
targets when it compiles ocaml. If this is correct, "opam switch" should
be fixed but I suspect many OPAM packages don't work on bytecode
architectures (is there any QA done on such architectures?). In Debian,
we often have to fix packages...
Cheers,
