In a previous tutorial about compiling ocaml-5.2.0
in the Crostini console, we saw that we were still able to get fully functional
commands for:
ocamlopt: okocamlnat: okBut that there was some serious issues with:
ocaml: Failureocamlc: don't remember (probably fail'd to built too)In addition we saw that the build script uses the command ln -s
which is a command that produces failures in Crostini.
Never-the-less, it was still possible to use
ocamlopt, and ocamlnat, which were not
broken yet.
With ocaml-5.4.0, there are more and more parts of the
system that are broken, and which don't compile out-of-the-box anymore.
Now we only get the ocamlopt command that is able to
compile something, and we are trying to figure-out if the ocaml-system
will get more and more poor over the next following years.
Fortunatly in this dark ocaml-2025 year, we are still able to compile old versions, but the future is un-sure if it will still be possible in a near or far future...
ocaml-2025 in difficulties...
