I don't know all the tricky details but my understanding is that it would be difficult. Notably because these META files seem dependent on the compiler options (x11/no x11, tk/no tk, threads support, whatever...). Note that this port is a small one. On my goold old PII 233Mhz, 47 seconds is needed to install it. And, as findlib is used when you want to compile an ocaml project, you will certainly have to install the compiler. > Setting NO_PACKAGE would prevent packaging of all ports depending on > this on Bento. All ports ? Really ? I didn't know that, i thought that it would only affect ocaml-findlib. Well, i will try to contact the author of findlid to look for a better solution (if there is one). Otherwise, i think it's unfortunately the safer workaround. Regards, Stephane. -- Je recherche un emploi de développeur/admin. sys.
