Before I write a ticket, I wonder if anyone else has had problems in gettin
ocaml@4.02.2 to build.
This is on an early MacBook1,1, with OSX 10.6.8, Xcode 3.2.4.
The occasion of the error in the log file seems to be
ld: absolute addressing (perhaps -mdynamic-no-pic) used in
_caml_system__code_begin
from i386.pic.o not allowed in slidable image.
Use '-read_only_relocs suppress' to enable text relocs:
That's a 32-bit Mac, right? Might be a 32-bit specific problem.
That's correct.
I tried to build ocaml myself from github, using a configure command that the
INSTALL file
seems to recommend. make world and make bootstrap worked, but make opt failed
with a ld error
about illegal text relocation, that looks similar (not exactly) to the macports
error.
Browsing around the ocaml bug tracking site, I notice that one or two people
with lots more clue than me
are struggling with this (acknowledged) issue.
Maybe it'll get fixed; maybe they'll just explicitly drop support for 32 bits.
Should I go ahead and raise a macports ticket?
For me ocaml is a build dependency for the latest versions of unison and hevea.
I still have
unison 2.48.3 on my prehistoric macbook, so maybe I can survive. hevea doesn't
matter.
