Hi everyone,

First of all, let me state that I use Slackware64-current with KDE 4.7.

I was trying to compile semantik (http://www.freehackers.org/~tnagy/kdissert.html), a well-known mind-mapping application for KDE that is the sucessor of Kdissert. The build requires ocaml, so I built and installed ocaml 3.11.1 from SlackBuilds.org. Other dependencies are met; at least, './waf configure' didn't complain

Compilation of semantik fails with the following error messages:

Code: Select all

Waf: Entering directory `/home/eduardo/build/slackbuilds/semantik/semantik-0.7.3/build'
[56/62] ocamlx: src/apis.ml -> build/default/src/apis.cmx

Build failed
 -> task failed (err #2):
        {task: ocamlx apis.ml -> apis.cmx}


Any pointers on how could I get it compiled??

Thanks in advance

That appears to be a OCAML compiler error unfortunately. Best to check if Semantik requires a particular OCAML version. KDE applications are usually (but not always) written in C++.

bcooksley: you're right. Upgrading the OCAML compiler solved the issue. Thanks!
