Just by way of confirmation, I am building Felix with Ocaml 3.09 on an old alpha on the Sourceforge compile farm. [Its old.. gcc 2.95 is the system compiler, luckily it has gcc 3.0 because Felix won't build with 2.95] It's a Debian box. I sure don't recommend this machine .. took ages to build Ocaml (not sure how long .. I fell asleep in the middle ..) However the generated native code does run correctly. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
