[imeckler]

I have the same issue

[yminsky]

Hmm. Same issue here, still. Anyone know what's up with this?

[dbuenzli]

Duplicate #4911

[lostman]

Also see: camlp4/camlp4#108

I'm not sure whether this change will make it to 4.03.0+32bit (that would be nice!). I currently have a custom version that I've added myself but couldn't see any other way.

Should I close this issue?

[dbuenzli]

This issue remains as described in the initial report. Ping @diml the maintainer of the camlp4 package.

[ghost]

I thought this was supposed to be fixed in OCaml directly?

[dbuenzli]

@diml When, where and how ?

[ghost]

It was suggested in camlp4/camlp4#108 that native dynlink should be enabled by OCaml for 32 bit osx.

Otherwise, we can try changing the ocaml-native in the opam file of camlp4 to ocaml-native-dynlink

[dbuenzli]

Otherwise, we can try changing the ocaml-native in the opam file of camlp4 to ocaml-native-dynlink

Since that seems to be the requirement for native code it seems to be the most sensitive thing to do.

[ghost]

I think it'll need a bit of work on Camlp4 thought. Currently make byte will still use a native ocamlbuild plugin which will causes the build to use camlp4/boot/camlp4boot.native, which for some reason is linked with dynlink even though it contains no reference to dynlink.

I'll have a look

[dbuenzli]

Alternatively simply disallow the install on these switches using available:

[dbuenzli]

@diml Any update on this ?

[dra27]

This should be fixed by #11199

[dbuenzli]

Closing then. Please reopen if that's not the case.
