Re: [Xen-API] [CentOS-devel] xapi for centOS 6.6

[Gautam Malu <gautam.malu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tried out building https://github.com/xenserver/buildroot on CentOS 6.6


It builds around 300 packages and then it just gets stuck while building ocaml-core-kernl-111.28.00-1.el6 .
build log: https://gist.github.com/gautammaloo/92a6199ee4ed100b1b92

I was looking for more upstream version of ocaml-core-kernel for el6. As you were saying Jonathan is already working on that http://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/jonludlam/ocaml402/epel-6-x86_64/ .

I am hoping if ocaml4.02 is ready by May,2015Â I could use to build xapi for CentOS 6.6. Meanwhile I can try out https://github.com/xenserver/buildroot on CentOS 6.5.

Best regards,

Gautam Malu

I believe JonL has been looking into this; but that a newer version of
ocaml is a prerequisite for building xapi on CentOS 6. I think he's
been pursuing that with the SCL SIG, but I'm not sure how far that's
gotten.
