similar to: [nbdkit PATCH] build: Install ocaml files relative to --prefix

The ocaml.opt compiler defaults to building things in the same directory as its input; we need explicit -o options to build in a VPATH $(builddir) when $(srcdir) is read-only (as is the case during 'make distcheck'). We also have to build any side effect files explicitly in cases where we can't directly use -o to control those outputs alongside the final product. Thanks: Richard W.M.

This is a first attempt to build libguestfs with just a ocaml bytecode compiler. The three tools written in ocaml will be build only when an ocamlopt compiler is available.

Hi Rich, I ran these commands as non-root: ./autogen.sh && make && make distcheck It got most of the way through, but failed in the VPATH part while rebuilding from a ./_build subdir, like this: make[4]: Entering directory `/h/j/w/co/hivex/hivex-1.3.6/_build/ocaml' mkdir -p /usr/lib64/ocaml mkdir -p /usr/lib64/ocaml/stublibs ocamlfind install \

I believe this patch has now been superseded by Hilko's commit here: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/f75142c577255b30f2a8e1d27baa5fd185594197 Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#)

Still don't recommend you use 'make install', but here we go. Rich.

<https://github.com/Chocrates> Apologies if this is the wrong list, I initially opened a github ticket before reading that github isn't the right spot. Trying to compile libguestfs and in the process need to get hivex compiled and installed. Hivex compiles and installs fine (I think), but ocamlfind doesn't seem to pick up hivex after the install causing the autogen.sh script in

In general, autotooled packages are supposed to allow './configure --prefix=$HOME/subdir' as a way to then get 'make install' to run as non-root. In fact, 'make distcheck' tests that this scenario works; alas, we fail due to: /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ../../../bash/nbdkit '/usr/share/bash-completion/completions' /usr/bin/install: cannot remove

As I'm now working through the enormous virt-v2v/virt-p2v bug list, we need a high quality set of tests to ensure that we don't accidentally regress some old OS/hypervisor combination while making changes. The test cases are going to be huge, so we cannot possibly distribute them in libguestfs. Furthermore many of them have licensing problems which means we cannot redistribute them at

Once ocamlfind is installed, 'make' failed for me with: ocamlfind ocamlc -g -annot -safe-string -warn-error CDEFLMPSUVYZX+52-3 -ccopt '-gdwarf' -package unix -c NBD.ml -o NBD.cmo File "NBD.ml", line 1: Error: Could not find the .cmi file for interface NBD.mli. make[2]: *** [Makefile:823: NBD.cmo] Error 2 I'm not positive that this is the perfect fix, but it at least

Just like with index-parse.h, also index-struct.h is a dependency of index-parser-c.c which automake cannot generate correctly.

This way no non-namespaced OCaml C symbols are used, reducing the risk of clashes with other code. The only exception is ocaml-augeas, which does not build with CAML_NAME_SPACE; it will be fixed upstream, and it affects only ocaml-augeas itself. --- builder/Makefile.am | 2 ++ common/mllibvirt/Makefile.am | 1 + common/mlpcre/Makefile.am | 1 + common/mlprogress/Makefile.am | 1 +

Add makefile variables to enable silent rules for simple command invocations, such as ocamlc, ocamlopt, javac, and erlc. This reduces the log output when building with silent rules, still showing the full command lines otherwise. --- erlang/Makefile.am | 2 +- java/Makefile.am | 6 +++--- ocaml/Makefile.am | 14 +++++++------- subdir-rules.mk | 20 +++++++++++++++++--- 4 files changed,
