[new] lang/mlton
Hi ports@, I would like to add port for MLton compiler. >From pkg/DESCR: MLton is an open-source, whole-program, optimizing Standard ML compiler. Please note, that the bugfix [1] should be applied for the default OpenBSD GCC 4.2.1 to compile this port. Attached file corresponds to [2].

It is possible to keep intermediary C or assembly files and use them as bootstrap, which I did. If anyone will want to generate their own set of bootstrap files from scratch, it is possible to do so on other platforms which have MLton compiler available already. Alternative way of bootstrapping MLton would be to use SML/NJ or PolyML, but I do not think these are available on OpenBSD amd64. Besides generated C sources for MLton, mlyacc bootstrap files are included into the bootstrap archive - mlyacc also needs itself to compile. If you know any other way to bootstrap MLton, I might be able to update the port accordingly. Best regards, Alex

Re: [new] lang/mlton
Hi Sebastien, Many thanks for the review. I think I have fixed issues you pointed to. It would be great if someone can comment on setting PATH inside MAKE_ENV. Changes made since my last submission: - Patches are updated with my comments - OpenBSD profiling handler has been accepted into the upstream development branch [1]. However, mlton-20130715 release still needs to be patched - Codegen patches are hopefully temporary only - until the next MLton release (See [2]) - .orig files removed - .if logic around DISTFILES removed - Unnecessary PERMIT_* statements removed - WITH_GMP does exist in several places and is needed to setup proper gmp prefix. Not changed. - bootstrap copying stuff moved to the post-extract target - mv is used instead of cp - Build and install target are separate now Additional notes: - Some tests will fail, that is expected. See [3] - Bootstrap target requires 2Gb of RAM - MLton is a whole-program compiler Updated port archive attached, please test if possible.

Hi Sebastien, Again, thanks for your help. I have made the following changes based on your last email: - added shells/bash to RUN_DEPENDS - removed PROT_EXEC - included statement to force PIC - updated bootstrap archive - now it is produced with amd64 codegen - removed C codegen patches Port archive is attached.

Thanks Sebastien, all fixed, except compileall.py warning.
I believe compiled version of helper script is not required in this
case. It is an executable script, not a library, and no .pyc will be
generated. I also doubt that anyone will run this script - besides the
developers of MLton compiler.

WIP: MLton and Ur/Web
Hi all, I am planning to create two new ports - for MLton and for Ur/Web (Ur/Web depends on MLton). Does anybody work on these?

New port - MLton
Hello, This is my first attempt at porting an application to OpenBSD. MLton is a whole-program, optimizing Standard ML compiler. The port files are attached. The difficult part is that MLton requires itself to compile. I've made precompiled MLton package for amd64 available at [1]. I am able to compile, package and use MLton on amd64 platform, OpenBSD-current. I do not have access to any others. MLton requires at least 1-2Gb of RAM to compile - there might be issues on i386 machines. I would appreciate any feedback and comments on how to improve the port.

If there is no mlton compiler available on a target platform, original MLton porting instructions [2] provide an option to pre-generate C/assembly code on a platform with working mlton compiler and then compile and link on the target. E.g. I used mlton compiler on linux to generate C/assembly code, then continued the build process on my OpenBSD machine. The process involves two steps, e.g. firstly I needed to compile a bootstrapped mlton, and after that I was able to compile mlton using the bootstrapped compiler (and then I've rebuilt everything from source again using the "full" version of mlton compiler to make sure that it works...) The question is whether it is acceptable to provide pre-generated C/assembly code along with required instructions to assist with package build (from scratch)? The port will rebuild mlton compiler twice in that case: get pre-generated C/assembly -> compile bootstrapped mlton from C/assembly -> compile mlton compiler from source using the bootstrapped mlton compiler Are there any better options?

python now requires X11 installed
Hello, I used to run all my OpenBSD servers with no X11. Now, to build nmap, you seem to need python. There are no FLAVORS and so no obvious way to prevent it from requiring python. And to build python, you need X11R6 installed. There are no FLAVORS as there used to be, to compile without tkinter to avoid requiring X11R6. Is it possible to install these without installing X11R6? Maybe I just don't understand the way ports work well enough. And, why the change? -- Obama Nation | My emails do not have attachments; it's a digital signature that your mail program doesn't understand. | http://www.subpacefield.org/~travis/ If you are a spammer, please email j...@subspacefield.org to get blacklisted. pgpZmAC7Pyq2D.pgp Description: PGP signature
