[Caml-list] OCaml 3.0.6 build problems (Linux Alpha)

[Caml-list] OCaml 3.0.6 build problems (Linux Alpha)

[Erik Arneson]

Hi everybody,

I'm having problems building OCaml 3.0.6 on Linux Alpha.  I'm using
the Compaq C Compiler version 6.5.6.002 and am building from the
source RPM on the OCaml website.

Here's the configuration information:

./configure -cc 'ccc -fast' -bindir /usr/bin -libdir /usr/lib/ocaml -mandir /usr/share/man/man1
** Configuration summary **

Directories where Objective Caml will be installed:
        binaries.................. /usr/bin
        standard library.......... /usr/lib/ocaml
        manual pages.............. /usr/share/man (with extension .1)
Configuration for the bytecode compiler:
        C compiler used........... ccc -fast
        options for compiling.....  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
        options for linking.......  -Wl,-E  -lm -ldl -lcurses 
        shared libraries are supported
        options for compiling..... -fPIC  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
        command for building...... ccc -fast -shared -o lib.so -Wl,-rpath,/a/path objs
Configuration for the native-code compiler:
        hardware architecture..... alpha
        OS variant................ linux
        C compiler used........... ccc -fast
        options for compiling.....  -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
        options for linking.......   -lm
        assembler ................ $(AS) 
        preprocessed assembler ... gcc -c -DSYS_$(SYSTEM)
        profiling with gprof ..... not supported
        ocamlopt -pack ........... supported
Source-level replay debugger: supported
Additional libraries supported:
        unix str num dynlink bigarray threads graph dbm
Configuration for the "num" library:
        target architecture ...... C
Configuration for the "graph" library:
        options for compiling .... -I/usr/X11R6/include
        options for linking ...... -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
The "labltk" library: not found

And here's where the build fails:

mkdir -p stdlib_man
sh ./runocamldoc true -man -d stdlib_man -I ../parsing -I ../utils -I ../typing -I ../driver -I ../bytecomp -I ../tools -I ../toplevel/ -I ../stdlib -I ../otherlibs/str -I ../otherlibs/dynlink -I ../otherlibs/unix -I ../otherlibs/num -I ../otherlibs/graph \
-t "OCaml library" -man-mini \
../stdlib/*.mli ../otherlibs/unix/unix.mli ../otherlibs/str/str.mli ../otherlibs/bigarray/bigarray.mli ../otherlibs/num/num.mli
Compilation error. Use the OCaml compiler to get more details.
Warning: Element Complex.t not found
1 error(s) encountered

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/erik/RPM/BUILD/ocaml-3.06/ocamldoc'
make: *** [ocamldoc] Error 2

Has anybody seen this problem before?  How can I fix it?  Thanks!

Well, I thought I'd try it with GCC before somebody suggested I try it
(especially since it's recommended in the INSTALL document), but I get
an error in the same place:

sh ./runocamldoc true -man -d stdlib_man -I ../parsing -I ../utils -I ../typing -I ../driver -I ../bytecomp -I ../tools -I ../toplevel/ -I ../stdlib -I ../otherlibs/str -I ../otherlibs/dynlink -I ../otherlibs/unix -I ../otherlibs/num -I ../otherlibs/graph \
-t "OCaml library" -man-mini \
../stdlib/*.mli ../otherlibs/unix/unix.mli ../otherlibs/str/str.mli ../otherlibs/bigarray/bigarray.mli ../otherlibs/num/num.mli
Fatal error: out of memory.
make[1]: *** [stdlib_man/Pervasives.o] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/erik/RPM/BUILD/ocaml-3.06/ocamldoc'
make: *** [ocamldoc] Error 2

And I am most certainly not out of memory.  Got lots of it left!  I
wasn't even swapping.

This is a known problem with recent libc versions on 64-bit Linux.
The good news is that the workaround is already in the 3.06 sources,
it just needs to be activated at configuration time.
The patch below to "configure" should do the job.
