Re: [Xen-API] Building for cubieboard4 with vanilla linux/linaro

[Nick Betteridge <buzzheavyyear@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've read https://opam.ocaml.org/blog/opam-in-xenserver but I'm not too sure how to a) make it run as a local deployment or b) package it for an image

I would also be interested in an OPAM build of Xapi -- I think turning that into a mega-deb (not suitable for upstream, but very convenient for local deployments) would be quite easy.

I've linked /usr/bin/ocamlfind to the opam version and the error is still there, complaining about package 'bytes' not found.

Is there any way I can create the whole bundle using opam (I've read the notes :p) and then somehow create the deb packages for including in the cubie4 image? I really am very keen to get this to work - I'm having problems with the build in http://xenbits.xenproject.org/djs/linaro-xapi-4-4-talex5 as I can't change the hostname on a cubie2.

Cheers

Running on the vanilla cubie4, I've added ppa:avsm/ppa, which gives me ocaml 4.02.1 in /usr/bin. But there is no ocamlfind in /usr/bin. So I added this via opam and this lives in /home/linaro/.opam/system/bin/ocamlfind, which is on the PATH

Doing an 'ocamlfind list' gives:
....
bytes               (version: [distributed with OCaml 4.02 or above])
....
