Problem building

[glechapelain]

Hello,

1st, I have a very strange problem merely configuring mldonkey.
I

• cloned the repository
• ran ./configure --prefix=/usr/pkg'
  When invited to download ocaml-4.01 I selected yes,
  It attempted to download, but reportedly from the site at 255.255.255.255 :| (From the logs.)
  There was a file where expected but it was empty (I.e. 0 Bytes.)

So I downloaded the file manually and placed it where it was expected.
The second configure around was successful.

Upon running gmake
The compilation died on:

File "src/utils/cdk/zlib.mli", line 20, characters 3-8:
Error: Unbound type constructor bytes
gmake: *** [Makefile:5419: src/utils/cdk/zlib.cmi] Error 2

this should be fixed in latest master but note that downloading and building ocaml automatically is no longer supported, you will need to provide a working ocaml environment (opam switch) to build mldonkey
