Description

Hello, I tried to install wyrd yesterday and it halted in configure when checking the OCAML version. It is looking for 3.0.8 or greater, but the logic in configure.in looks weird. (I don't know bash testing logic well, though.)

Here's the error section from the log:

...
:debug:configure Assembled command: 'cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_textproc_wyrd/wyrd/work/wyrd-1.4.4" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --mandir=/opt/local/share/man'

:info:configure Exit code: 1
:error:configure org.macports.configure for port wyrd returned: configure failure: command execution failed

I installed macports autoconf, tried to sensibly alter the OCAML version checking in configure.in, but didn't succeed. I then commented the OCAML version checking logic in configure.in, ran autoconf, and then re-ran port install wyrd. It appears to have worked.

See if the attached patch to the configure script works for you.

I finally had time to try it and yes, it worked. I couldn't figure out how to get port to find and use configure.patch, but I applied it by hand and wyrd built successfully. Thank you!
