It should be possible to make a Mac mpkg directly by tarring up an .opam tree, if that's not too distasteful. It would be useful for generating other binaries too. On 12 Jul 2013, at 13:37, Louis Gesbert notifications@github.com wrote:

As far as I can tell, this doesn't work at all under brew, because gtksourceview does not build properly. I built gtksourceview from brew, but when trying to build ocaml-top, it errors out
|
To successfully install gtksourceview with pk-config and homebrew, I had to follow the workaround described in Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#21129:
In 1.1 we will have post-messages where we can describe easily such work-around! |
Is this something that can get fixed upstream in brew? This seems like too

This is a breakage in MacOS X and fairly hard to fix in Homebrew with root. But the whole point of this issue is to create a binary package that solves the problem for beginners... they shouldn't be doing source installs anyway. -anil On 5 Aug 2013, at 11:55, Yaron Minsky notifications@github.com wrote:

I'm counting on @samoht to make one once OPAM 1.1 is released, since I don't have a mac available. I'll work on a .deb meanwhile :) |
New mac users have been disappointed to only find a Windows package, and frightened to compile from source. We need to at least make the documentation on installing with opam more directly visible, and a mac package may be better for visibility (I don't know of a student computer lab with macs, but lots of teachers use them).
