Fails to build on 10.10.5 (error: unknown type name 'uint32'; did you mean 'sint32'?) about homebrew-hhvm

[jwatzman]

• The ocaml issue is unrelated and you got a working ocamlc, correct?
• What version of OS X are you on? I find it really weird that the OS X header itself is failing to compile... have you done anything weird to Security.framework or something?

[jwatzman]

Oh, you're on 10.10.5, I see that in the dump above :) Other questions still stand.

[ThauEx]

I havn't touched Security.framework. I only have beta updates enabled, but atm I'm on the latest stable 10.10.5.

[jwatzman]

And the ocaml issue is unrelated, you have a working ocamlc now right?

[ThauEx]

After I build it from source, I had no more issues.

Possibly related to facebook/hhvm#6120

[jwatzman]

Aha, here's the problem: https://reviews.facebook.net/diffusion/HHVM/browse/master/hphp/hack/src/fsevents/fsevents_stubs.c;349399bbac897c3226446806a153013ea8008791$22-28

That bug was fixed in ocaml 4.03, which you are using since you built with --HEAD.

@ThauEx can you try removing those lines and see if that fixes the issue?

[jwatzman]

Actually, I'm just going to put up a diff to remove that, it doesn't seem necessary anymore. (It works both ways on my 10.10 system with ocaml 4.02.)

[ThauEx]

Do I have to do something special, to use your diff?
I jusr run the command brew install hhvm and it failed with the same error.

[jwatzman]

The diff just went into the master branch, so you'd have to use --HEAD, but it's being reverted anyways since it broke the build with ocaml 4.01. We just don't support ocaml HEAD right now -- even if this issue were fixed there are other build issues right after. Can you please use ocaml 4.02, the current stable version? (And the one brew will install if you don't pass --HEAD to brew install ocaml. If you can't use the bottle for some reason, there's another option to still use 4.02, but no bottle.)
