Compile latest unison on Ubuntu lucid
Short version: You need to apt-get the packages ocaml
and liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev
, download and unpack the unison tarball you want, then run “make:
Change filename in the following as necessary to download the tarball you want:
wget http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison//download/releases/stable/unison-2.40.63.tar.gz tar xvfz unison*tar.gz cd unison* sudo aptitude install ocaml make UISTYLE=text sudo aptitude install liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev make unison
Maybe compiling the text version can be skipped. I then move the unison executable to my local ~/bin/ and execute from the command line. You may need to “sudo make” for system wide install.
