[MLton-devel] NetBSD porting and problems

[Jesper Louis Andersen]

I am building a port of MLton for NetBSD this time (now I got stirred
blood from the FreeBSD-5.1 patches). Right now I have added NetBSD to
Control and have it configured so the compiler part knows about it. Not
much changed there. Not much in the runtime either, since most of the
code looks like the FreeBSD code or goes into par with UNIX. 

For now, I have chosen not to address profiling yet, since I would have
the rest of the backend working before attempting to do that. 

Unfortunately it goes like this:

gmake dirs compiler world
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/jlouis/projects/mlton-netbsd'
mkdir -p /home/jlouis/projects/mlton-netbsd/build/bin /home/jlouis/projects/mlton-netbsd/build/lib/self/include
gmake -C /home/jlouis/projects/mlton-netbsd/mlton
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/home/jlouis/projects/mlton-netbsd/mlton'
Compiling mlton (takes a while)
mlton @MLton  gc-summary -- -host self -verbose 1 -output mlton-compile mlton.cm

gmake[1]: *** [compiler] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jlouis/projects/mlton-netbsd'
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

What is the most likely cause? I presume the most likely thing is a GC
bug, but I just wanted to be sure before attempting to proof-read the
code. 

I can also see there is some GC-DEBUG flags. How are these
enabled/compiled into the runtime library.
