Re: [Xen-API] XCP xen-api build error

[Matthias Blankenhaus <matthiasblankenhaus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sergei,

I am indeed using Ocaml 3.11 as it comes with CentOS5.5 / 32bit.  I have tried building before with Ocaml 3.12, but then I ran into type-conv lib problems.  I have posted my findings on this list about that recently.
Going the CentOS5.5 / 32 bit route got me much farther then before, thus I'd like to continue on that path. 

Which OCaml pkgs, besides ocaml itself,  do I need to update to move to 3.12 ?

Here is what I currently have installed:

# rpm -qa |grep ocaml
ocaml-type-conv-1.6.8-unknown
ocaml-findlib-1.1.2pl1-unknown
ocaml-xmlm-devel-1.0.2-unknown
ocaml-getopt-20040811-unknown
ocaml-xmlm-1.0.2-unknown
ocaml-3.11.0-unknown
 

Thanx,
matthias

Hello Matthias,

I remember having a similar error message, with Ocaml3.11 -- make sure you build with Ocaml3.12, which I belive is the only one available xen-api unstable repository `http://downloads.xen.org/XCP/xcp-unstable-repo`.

Howdy  !

I am now trying to compile the xen-api proj from XCP.  I have followed the instructions from the Xen Web page and I am thus building xen-api on a CentoS5 / 32 bit machine.    I have retrieved the source from github.

The build is going smooth until it breaks in phase 3:
omake phase3
*** omake: reading OMakefiles
*** omake: finished reading OMakefiles (0.20 sec)
- scan ocaml/autogen scan-ocaml db_actions.ml

+ ocamlfind ocamldep -package xml-light2,sexpr,http-svr,log -native -I ../idl/ocaml_backend -I ../database -I
                  ../idl db_actions.ml
File "db_actions.ml", line 1413, characters 17-20:
Error: Syntax error
*** omake: 347/2728 targets are up to date

*** omake: failed (0.84 sec, 6/51 scans, 0/107 rules, 1/962 digests)
*** omake: targets were not rebuilt because of errors:
                  <scanner ocaml/autogen/scan-ocaml-db_actions.ml>
0make: *** [all] Error 2

Your help is much appreciated.

Matthias
