caml-ocamlnet @3.4 Ocamlnet build fail : sh option

[ontologiae@…]

The building of ocamlnet fails during use of ocamlrpcgen. It calls a sh processus with an invalid option.

I missed to inform i'm under Mac Lion (10.7)

I've reproduced this same error on two separate Lion machines with Xcode 4.2.1

If you remove the patch from the Portfile then this port installs successfully. I don't know what the effect of the patch was meant to be so I don't know if this is the correct thing to do however.

As a workaround, try this:

sudo port install ocaml-ocamlnet  configure.cpp=/usr/bin/cpp

Should be fixed in r92002. I'm not sure why the change to CPP was made either; the code passed through CPP is intended for consumption by ocamlrpcgen, rather than a C compiler.
