| Subject: | SPARC 64 bit code generator updated to support Linux |
My OCaml patch to generate native code for 64 bit SPARC systems now supports 64 bit Linux as well as Solaris. This April 21 version also fixes a bug in the 64 bit version of the caml_callback_exn internal function which made user-installed signal handlers unreliable in the April 9 version. http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/ocaml-3.08.3-sparc64.tar.gz Read the README file or run the install.sh script from the parent directory of the ocaml-3.08.3 source. The configure script will select 32 or 64 bit code to match the C compiler, so a typical configure command for 64 bit code would be: ./configure -cc 'gcc -m64' Thanks to David Mentre for giving me access to a SPARC/Linux system for testing.
