Unable to compile Felix

[Sod-Almighty]

Having installed ocaml (manually, because the opam instructions on their website don't work), I followed the Felix installation instructions:

git clone https://github.com/felix-lang/felix.git
cd felix
. buildscript/linuxsetup.sh
make

The build failed, and I got a bunch of error messages (and warnings!)

Oh dear. Ocaml messes it up again. I'm using this:

The OCaml toplevel, version 4.13.0+dev0-2020-10-19

You have a hyper new version 5.x Ocaml which has changed things I have not noticed because I'm running and older version. BTW yes opam doesn't seem to work for me either.

The compiler is complaining about this:

    if s = Bytes.of_string oldtp then
      (let s = Bytes.of_string ("'"^newtp^" ") in
      let len2 = Bytes.length s in
      s.[len2-1] <- r.[len-1];
      Buffer.add_bytes string_buf s)

on the second last line. It's complaint is very strange. The symbol s there actually IS of type Bytes.t. However I cannot find at the moment the syntax shown in the module definition online. Obviously it USED to work.

This can be fixed by just using the set function instead. However the file is not editable because it is generated.

I cannot fix this without building Ocaml version 5.x because I need to reproduce the error and then see if I can fix it. The problem has to be fixed in the lexer generator program to generate a valid Ocaml 5.1 lexer.

The other issue, the alert on module Unix is unrelated and the advice given is rubbish since Felix is not using any of that stuff: it builds using the compiler directly. No dune, ocamlfind, or any other crap. This is a pain, because if I adjust the build script to work for Ocaml 5 it won't work for Ocaml 4. Grr.

OK .. Ill try to get Ocaml 5 now.

[skaller]

The github website says this:

"Owing to the large number of changes, the initial 5.0 release will be more experimental than usual. It is recommended that all users wanting a stable release use the 4.14 release which will continue to be supported and updated while 5.0 reaches feature and stability parity. Similarly, if you need one of the ports not yet supported in the 5.0 release you must use the 4.14 release."

You have 5.1 which is already more advanced than these comments suggest. Wonder where you got it? Did you build from the github repo?

[skaller]

OOps .. wrong that file is editable ...

[skaller]

OK tried a fix .. works with Ocaml 4.x. Used "set" function instead of assignment syntax.

skaller added a commit

Thank you. So.....I should re-download this repo and try it again?

BTW yes opam doesn't seem to work for me either.

I reported an issue to the opam repo, and suggested they update their instructions. I got yelled at and the ticket was closed for "being offensive". I hadn't been rude. I've noticed a lot of open source maintainers are like that: any criticism whatsoever is considered offensive, and the ticket is closed.

You have 5.1 which is already more advanced than these comments suggest. Wonder where you got it? Did you build from the github repo?

Yes. I had to. Bloody opam doesn't work. What other option is there, other than to build it by hand?

Believe me, I would much rather just download a release and install it. But Felix hasn't released since 2019, and OCaml doesn't appear to have any options other than opam - which doesn't work.

[Sod-Almighty]

Btw, your website is down. Just FYI.

I know the website is down. The owner is uncontactable. I need another server but i cannot afford to rent one. It has to be a raw machine preferably running some kind of Unix because I'm using flx_web, a web server written in Felix that automatically displays felix packages you can see in src/packages of the repo, and automatically hyperlinks Felix and C++.

Ok I fixed that next bug I think (the patch compiles on Ocaml 4 at least).

[skaller]

FYI: there are lots of options other than opam. For example with Debian you can apt-get ocaml-nox. You can also build the 4.14 branch of the repo. I personally had so much trouble with opam I just build from source myself. My build is actually from the trunk, but it's old I guess.

[skaller]

Opam should work. I'm on MacOS and it used to be fine. However when I try to get other packages it refuses and thats actually the packages being out of date and not building, rather than opam failing. The problem with Ocaml is the core developers are really only interested in the type system not industrial strength tooling, and they're idiot copy-left anti-microsoft and refuse to support Windows. So if you have trouble on a Linux platforms .. OMG don't try to build it on Windows. Felix itself works fine on Windows once Ocaml is built and you can actually build the compiler but, even though i have a Windows box, I cannot maintain the Windows binding because my stupid iPhone I used for internet won't accept a wifi connection from it.

I can rewrite most of the compiler in Felix or even (ARGGGGHHHH in C++) but not the parser. Dypgen is the best parser ever written, but it's not maintained. Felix relies on its ability to dynamically update itself on the fly.

To be honest, I'm surprised you don't do regular releases as AppImages or Docker containers. Would make it much easier.

[skaller]

I have no idea how to stuff around with Docker or AppImages (never even heard of that). That's just one more layer of idiot dependencies I am trying to avoid. At the moment to get Felix moving you need, obviously, C++, you need Ocaml, and you need Python 3.x and that's ALL you need (well apart from basic tools like make and shell and git). Everything else, such as ocaml packages like Dypgen, and C++ packages like Google RE2 are bundled directly in the system.

It looks like the Debian build is also way WAY out of date which is not surprising. Probably the Ubuntu build is more up to date. The problems we're having here all stem from one really bad change to Ocaml which is the result of a long running stupidity: in Ocaml strings were originally mutable. The problem was the compiler assumed string literals were immutable .. so the type system as unsound.

To fix this, they added a new type bytes which was mutable, and made strings immutable, which broke every program that used mutable string buffers .. including other standard Ocaml library packages like Lexing. Lex buffers are intrinsically mutable (they get reloaded obviously), but when you change them to bytes that breaks everything using it.

I fixed a whole lot of stuff already. I have my own Dypgen clone inside Felix. But whilst the older compilers have some tolerance, it seems the 5.x family doesn't. They should have fixed the dang compiler, not messed with every user program in existence that used strings.

ok i'm building Ocaml from trunk now.

AppImage is a way to bundle your product and its dependancies into a single executable. I use it myself, for the Linux edition of my product.
