[Xen-API] api-xen-lib build error

[Matthias Blankenhaus <matthiasblankenhaus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi !

I am attempting to build xapi from scratch.  Thus, I started with xen-api-libs, 
downloading the sources from github.  Before starting my build I installed the 
following packges:

# yum install ocaml ocaml-findlib ocaml-getopt ocaml-type-conv ocaml-xmlm omake 
ocaml-xmlm-devel

I then got the following build error:

make -C stdext
ocamlfind: Package `type-conv' not found
make[1]: Entering directory `/root/xen-api-libs/stdext'
ocamlc -g -pp 'camlp4o -I ../rpc-light -I  pa_type_conv.cmo pa_rpc.cma' -I 
../jsonrpc -I ../rpc-light -c -o fe.cmo fe.ml
Camlp4: Uncaught exception: DynLoader.Error ("pa_rpc.cma", "file not found in 
path")

File "fe.ml", line 1, characters 0-1:


I realized that some of the caml pkgs were placed under /usr/lib/ocaml instead 
of /usr/lib64/ocaml: 

# ls /usr/lib/ocaml/
getopt  type-conv  xmlm

Next, I copied those dirs to /usr/lib64/ocaml.  This seems to have improved the 
situtation slightly as the type-conv module can now be found.  However, I now 
receive the following error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/xen-api-libs/stdext'
ocamlc -g -pp 'camlp4o -I ../rpc-light -I /usr/lib64/ocaml/type-conv 
pa_type_conv.cmo pa_rpc.cma' -I ../jsonrpc -I ../rpc-light -c -o fe.cmo fe.ml
Camlp4: Uncaught exception: DynLoader.Error 
("/usr/lib64/ocaml/type-conv/pa_type_conv.cmo", 
"/usr/lib64/ocaml/type-conv/pa_type_conv.cmo is not a bytecode object file")

File "fe.ml", line 1, characters 0-1:
Error: Preprocessor error
make[1]: *** [fe.cmo] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/xen-api-libs/stdext'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Your help is much appreciated.

Matthias
