"ocaml_beginners"::[] OCaml on a Mac

Hi,

Do the OCaml compilers work as fine on Mac OS X as they do on Linux?

Thanks

I have had no trouble with the OCaml compilers using both 32-bit and
64-bit versions on Mac OS X 10.4.8 PPC.

While we are on this subject, is anyone successfully using OCaml with
Cocoa?

I have OS-X 10.3.9 (Panther) on a G4 PowerBook and it compiles very fine.

With OCaml I had good experiences on x86 linux, on PoerBook G4 and on
Solaris. But on solaris it did not compile to 64 Bits even if it was a
64 Bit machine.

But compilation was without problems.

Oliver

Oh, you had tried it on a G5?

Does OCaml itself also compile as 64 Bit?

What does Sys.max_string_length
and Sys.max_array_length
and Sys.word_size
return on the G5 PPC?

Ciao,

I don't, but there are people who developed this:

With the 64-bit version they return:

# Sys.max_string_length;;
- : int = 144115188075855863
# Sys.max_array_length;;
- : int = 18014398509481983
# Sys.word_size;;
- : int = 64
However, I had to manually edit a couple files because the configure
script didn't fix the size definitions in all the files. I haven't
had any problems with it but it's not the stock configuration.

could you make your changes public?

Maybe here or in the OCaml's Bug-Tracker?

The latter way aould be fine for the developer, so they can
fix the problems.

Thanks,
Oliver

Unfortunately I cannot remember all of the changes I made to get it
to work. However, they were only configuration changes and it
appears that the latest cvs sources have all of those fixed. I just
grabbed the sources and all I had to do to get it to work was set
ccoption='gcc -m64' in the configure script and then build it. I
don't know what the status of the cvs sources is with regards to
stability and such, but if you want to try out OCaml on ppc64 then I
think that would be the best way.

I have ocaml running on my macbook pro 17inch, intel c2d. I went to the ocaml website and
got the the latest binary for intel machines (http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/release.en.html)
Everything works fine.
