Re: [suse-amd64] Re: mldonkey: configure: ok - make: ok - make install: error

Yes, because mldonkeys confoigure is broken. mldonkey needs ocamlopt, i.e. the ocaml compiler that produces native code

I've now checked mldonkey's configure and it seems like it's the Makefiles that are broken and not configure.

(in contrast to ocaml, which is a bytecode compiler) for a given platform. SUSE Linux 9.1 comes with ocaml 3.06 which doesn't support AMD64 natively. But mldonkey's configure doesn't stop with an error but simply sets OCAMLOPT to 'no', which results in this:

...

# make install no -inline 10 -I src/utils/cdk -I src/daemon/chat -I src/utils/lib -I ^^

...

The bizarre thing is that I can compile and install these packages on SuSE 9.1 for i586 without running into this problem.

That's because ocamlc 3.06 does supoort x86 natively.

...

Did anyone have a similar experience with trying to get mldonkey running on SuSE for AMD64? Or better: is anyone able to help with that?

The current version of ocaml, 3.08.1, does support AMD64 natively, which is why I'm currently building SUSE packages of it for possible inclusion in the next version of SUSE Linux. I'll put a package for 9.1-x86_64 in pub/people/pth/9.1/x86_64. With that version of ocaml you should be able to compile mldonkey for AMD64.
