Hi all - I hope that this is reported correctly. The latest pkg and port for lang/mlton doesn't seem to be working. After installing the pkg (or building the port), attempting to use the mlton compiler results in the following error: ``` $ mlton hello.sml No such file or directory ``` My sample file is a simple example: ``` $ less hello.sml (* hello.sml *) fun hello () = print "Hello, world, from MLton!\n" val _ = hello () ``` I've tried to build the port with the same results. Additionally, I tried using SMLNJ to bootstrap the mlton build process, but that effort errored out with: ``` [00:00:10] Hit CTRL+t at any time to see build progress and stats [00:00:10] [01] [00:00:00] Building lang/mlton | mlton-20100608_8 [00:00:10] [01] [00:00:00] Finished lang/mlton | mlton-20100608_8: Ignored: is marked as broken: mlton-20100608-20100608 does not bootstrap properly with smlnj [00:00:10] Stopping 1 builders ``` For additional discussion, I tried to check in the MLton github issues; e.g. https://github.com/MLton/mlton/issues/433 Best, Bridger
I'll create an updated port based on a modern version using SML/NJ to compile, but going forward, I want to get a modern FreeBSD bootstrap version submitted to the mlton developers to compile a faster running version of mlton for i386 and amd64. Sorry about the delay on this port, it just has been a while since I looked at the current build system of the project. If you have any recommended methods, I'll investigate those first.
(In reply to Timothy Beyer from comment #1) Tim - Thanks for your efforts. I did try bootstrapping the current mlton port (20100608_8) with SML/NJ, but received an error. Additionally, I tried bootstrapping the *latest* MLton (20210117) with SML/NJ, using the following command: gmake OLD_MLLEX=ml-lex OLD_MLYACC=ml-yacc bootstrap-smlnj Unfortunately, that errors out with: ``` ...[snip]... for d in basis basis/Real basis/Word gc platform util; do \ mkdir -p "/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117/build/lib/mlton/include/$d"; \ cp -fpR "/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117/runtime/$d/"*.h "/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117/build/lib/mlton/include/$d"; \ done gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117' gmake compiler CHECK_FIXPOINT=false # tools0 + mlton0 -> mlton1 gmake[2]: Entering directory '/usr/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117' No such file or directory gmake -C "/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117/mlton" gmake[3]: Entering directory '/usr/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117/mlton' No such file or directory No such file or directory No such file or directory No such file or directory No such file or directory ( \ echo '$(SML_LIB)/basis/unsafe.mlb'; \ echo '$(SML_LIB)/basis/sml-nj.mlb'; \ echo '$(SML_LIB)/basis/mlton.mlb'; \ echo '$(SML_LIB)/basis/basis.mlb'; \ mlton -stop f mlton.mlb | \ grep -v 'mlb$' | \ grep 'mlyacc'; \ mlton -stop f ../lib/stubs/mlton-stubs/sources.mlb | \ grep -v 'mlb$' | \ grep 'mlton-stubs'; \ mlton -stop f mlton.mlb | \ grep -v 'mlb$' | \ grep -v 'sml/basis' | \ grep -v 'targets' | \ grep -v 'mlyacc'; \ ) > mlton-stubs.mlb No such file or directory No such file or directory No such file or directory gmake[3]: *** [Makefile:113: mlton-stubs.mlb] Error 1 gmake[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117/mlton' gmake[2]: *** [Makefile:75: compiler] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117' gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:19: all] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/home/bridger/src/mlton-src/mlton-20210117' gmake: *** [Makefile:266: bootstrap-smlnj] Error 2 ``` And... I'm not sure what to make of that! If there's anything I can provide to assist or help, please let me know. Thanks again for your time and trouble! Best, Bridger
