qemu arm does not has to port "ocaml"

[Alain De Vos]

Could i try to compile to port ocaml for arm. How ? Or will this hardly fail ?

 

[mark_j]

Armv6, Armv7, Armv8? Is there not a port or package for it ?

 

[Alain De Vos]

There is not a package for arm64/aarch64.
Nor is there a package for ocaml-package-system "opam"
I have not yet checked for ports.

#make ARCH=aarch64

Stop.

ghc(haskell) works.

 

[mark_j]

I would presume the architecture is not the problem as isn't it available on the Apple Mac aarch64? Therefore, it's probably/likely an issue with the assembler now being part of clang? Just a guess.

32 bit arm seems ok, also ppc

BROKEN_aarch64=         Does not build: sh: as: not found
BROKEN_riscv64=         fails to build: hasgot.c:3:12: use of undeclared identifier 'secure_getenv'
BROKEN_sparc64= No rule to make target 'none.o', needed by 'libasmrun.a'
BROKEN_mips64=  No ASM support
BROKEN_mips=    No ASM support

Not directly related to previous issue.
I make.conf i know have:
CPUTYPE?=cortex-a72

danfe@ is supposed to work on it, there is a pr rotting in bugzilla for more than a year now...

My 5-cent.
If you got 1 working ocaml/dune/opam.
You can use that one to compile/install one the latest ocaml compilers versions.

If that version is marked as 'broken', maybe find a more up-to-date version or an older version that will build? you can probably fish that out of FreeBSD's git repos...
