OCaml, F# (and Scala, it seems) do that by targetting a bytecode for which there exists an independent interpreter (resp. OCaml's own bytecode, .NET, Java). A (cross-platform) binary is then bundled with the sources and is used for initial bootstrap. In the OCaml case, a bytecode compiler (ocamlc) is bundled in the upstream tarball, and the build system recompiles it until it reaches a fixpoint. There are also native code backends for selected architectures that can be compiled easily once everything has been compiled in bytecode. -- Stéphane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
