[Caml-list] OCaml 4.06.1 FreeBSD

Hello,

I find the ocaml package in FreeBSD downlevel (4.02).

Instructions for FreeBSD(http://ocaml.org/docs/install.html) isn't correct,
since *pkg_add* is available in OpenBSD only.

For FreeBSD its *`pkg install ocaml`*

Can anyone point to me on how to get 4.06 in FreeBSD ?

Is "ocaml for freebsd"  owned by the package maintainer in FreeBSD ?

Is compiling from 4.06.1 source the way to go ? Is there a different option?

Awesome.  That worked.

Recently moved from ArchLinux to FreeBSD

Thanks Peter Niitenberg/Francois Berenger.

you could try installing the package ocaml-opam

  pkg install ocaml-opam

opam will build the latest compiler for you:

  opam init
  opam switch 4.06.1

I am not the port maintainer but have been meaning to upgrade it for
awhile but it's a slightly complicated port.  Hopefully I'll find some
time in the next few months.  But using opam works for this and it's
what I use.  But I think the latest version of opam to come out will
require a new ocaml so that might be a forcing function.

Let me know I can give a hand as well.  I will look at source compile links of OCaml.
