Bug description

Dear o'CAML crew,

I am currently about to introduce oCAML as the language for implementing
DNA sequence analysis programs at the Institute for Molecular Biology,
University of Giessen. Using the o'CAML 3.02 source distribution as
included in SuSE LINUX 7.3 and 8.0, things work pretty well with
Linux-for-Intel-systems. However, when trying to compile the package on
a Macintosh sporting MacOS-X 10.0.4 (with gcc and the rest of the Apple
Developer stuff installed), I was not able not build the native code
compiler, although the documentation states that this architecture is
supported. The bytecode compiler seems to work fine (did "make
bootstrap" several times over), but as our business is quite an exacting
one, I would very much love to have ocamlopt too.
This is the error message I got (after ./configure, make world, make
bootstrap, make bootstrap, make bootstrap):

[localhost:/caml/ocaml-3.02] ophis% make opt
cd asmrun; make all
make[1]: *** No rule to make target none.o', needed by libasmrun.a'.
Stop.
make: *** [runtimeopt] Error 2
[localhost:
/caml/ocaml-3.02] ophis%

is there any fix for this? I assume there is, and probably it will be
documented somewhere... only I have not found it yet!
RSVPASAP.

Yours sincerely,
Ruediger Flaig

This means that the configuration script failed to detect your
platform as one of those that support the native-code compiler.
I believe the latest release of OCaml (3.04) should detect your
MacOS X system just fine. 3.04 is available from
http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/distrib.html
and additional notes and caveats on compiling it for MacOS X
can be found here:

Hope this helps,
