I recommend grabbing MacPorts trunk. It's certainly the easiest solution. If you don't want to do that, then yes, you need to rip out that line and add in configure.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 build.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 destroot.env-append MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 I don't actually know if all 3 of those are required, but since I don't know which ones are (and the macosx_deployment_target command actually sets the env var on every single target executed), doing those 3 should work. -Kevin Ballard On Nov 18, 2007, at 10:16 AM, Paul Guyot wrote:

Hey gang,
I am trying to install ocaml so I can compile unison which depends on ocaml so I can synchronize my files between my MacBookPro and AMD64 Ubuntu box. Had to get the latest unison (2.27.10) I could find to overcome a 64 bit integer bug which was crashing file transfers.
Since then Unison has worked flawlessly between MBP 10.4 and Ubuntu- AMD64.
Then I did the leopard upgrade. Wrecked apple mail, now using Thunderbird and I can't get my old version of ocaml (3.10.0) to compile. It compiled fine on 10.4.
So I downloaded MacPorts to get that version of ocaml:
sh-3.2# port search ocaml ocaml lang/ocaml 3.10.0 Objective Caml is an implementation of the ML language ocaml-mode.el lang/ocaml-mode.el 3.05 An EMACS major mode for editing OCaml programs. ocamlduce lang/ocamlduce 3.08.4pl3 Objective Caml extensions for manipulating XML
But when I try to install I get:
sh-3.2# port install ocaml Error: Error executing darwin_9: invalid command name "macosx_deployment_target" Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants
I don't think it is a bad install of MacPorts as I have loaded several packages succesfully:
sh-3.2# port installed The following ports are currently installed: expat @2.0.1_0 (active) gettext @0.17_0 (active) libiconv @1.11_6 (active) py-chart @1.37_0 (active) python24 @2.4.4_1+darwin_9 (active) python25 @2.5.1_2+darwin_9 (active)
Is their some way I can edit the sources on ocaml to get it to compile?
If not, How long do these type things usually take to get fixed in MacPorts? ie when should I check back....daily, weekly, monthly???
Depends on the port, the problem and the availability of the maintainer :) I am the maintainer of ocaml, but I don't have Leopard and I have been vaguely inactive lately, especially when the following lines were added to ocaml Portfile:
platform darwin 9 { macosx_deployment_target 10.4 }
This is what breaks on your system. Judging from the Changelog, this command hasn't been released yet, and this is why it breaks. I guess you can either: - get the latest development version of MacPorts (or the 1.6 RC, if it includes this command) - replace it with something that should work on the previous release of MacPorts, such as: configure.env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4
I'm Ccing Kevin who might have a clue.
