Re: porting OCaml on OSKit



		OCaml is a Objective variant of ML. I have version 2.04 of OCaml
	working on Redhad linux 6.0.    To port OCaml on OSKit, I tried to use
	ix86-oskit-gcc to compile the files and make OCaml. ix86-oskit-gcc
	doesnt exactly behave like the linux gcc and for some files it shows
	parse errors. I couldnot figure out the reason.

I was at a meeting earlier this week and learned that Greg Morrisett's
group at Cornell has ported OCaml to the OSKit, in the course of
getting TAL running on the OSKit.  At least I think that's what was
involved.  So maybe they can just give the Caml part to you.

I have cc'ed Greg.

	I had one more difficulty. How do I use the build tools (ar,
	sed, ranlib) 

They aren't currently provided.
	
	and the basic interfaces (open/close/read/write/seek) in
	OSKit.  (ie how are they provided in OSKit).

Just use these posix things; they should work.  There are lots of
example programs to look at and build on.  grep is your friend.
