[Cocci] Need help compiling coccinelle on Ubuntu 16.04

[Cocci] Need help compiling coccinelle on Ubuntu 16.04

[Patrick Doyle]

TherI just tried compiling coccinelle on a Ubuntu 16.04 system, having
installed all the dependencies that seem to make sense, and it fails
to compile.

I need to use a version of spatch >= 1.0.6 for another project, and
the version supplied with Ubuntu is 1.0.4.

So I:

$ git clone https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle.git
$ cd coccinelle
$ ./autogen
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/wpd/local
$ make

and that fails with

...
cp /usr/lib/ocaml/parmap/parmap.cmi ocaml/parmap.cmi
cp /usr/lib/ocaml/parmap/parmap.cmx ocaml/parmap.cmx
cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/ocaml/parmap/parmap.cmx': No such file or directory
Makefile:620: recipe for target 'ocaml/parmap.cmi' failed
make: [ocaml/parmap.cmi] Error 1 (ignored)
rm parsing_cocci/lexer_cli.ml parsing_cocci/parser_cocci_menhir.ml.d
tools/spgen/source/spgen_lexer.ml
parsing_cocci/parser_cocci_menhir.mli.d parsing_cocci/lexer_script.ml
parsing_cocci/lexer_cocci.ml parsing_c/lexer_c.ml

I have installed libparmap-ocaml-dev:

$ apt search libparmap-ocaml-dev
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
libparmap-ocaml-dev/xenial,now 1.0~rc7-1 amd64 [installed]
  small OCaml library allowing to exploit multicore architectures

and /usr/lib/ocaml/parmp shows:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/ocaml/parmap
total 312

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    207 Jan 18  2016 setcore.mli

There are parmap.cmxa and parmap.cmxs files, but no parmap.cmx file.

I am stuck here (and clearly ignorant of what I am doing).  Any help
would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I had this problem and then somehow it disappeared...  I think that
somehow it is supposed to be giving a warning, but not actually failing.
But it does really look like it fails.  We will look into it.

I found compiling it required too many stuff I did not really want on my 
system. So I generally pick up recent version from launchpad:

That's indeed at least better than 1.0.4.

I had a similar issue previously due paramap dependency.
https://pastebin.com/teDP8R18

So, what I would suggest is first purge the Ubuntu supplied Coccinelle.
And then install all the packages as suggested in install.txt

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
himanshu at himanshu-Vostro-3559:~/coccinelle$ sudo apt-get install
pkg-config ocaml-native-compilers ocaml-findlib menhir and
libmenhir-ocaml-dev libpcre-ocaml-dev
[sudo] password for himanshu: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
pkg-config is already the newest version (0.29.1-0ubuntu1).
and is already the newest version (1.2.2-4.1).
libmenhir-ocaml-dev is already the newest version (20151112.dfsg-1).
libpcre-ocaml-dev is already the newest version (7.0.4-2build1).
menhir is already the newest version (20151112.dfsg-1).
ocaml-findlib is already the newest version (1.5.5-2build1).
ocaml-native-compilers is already the newest version (4.02.3-5ubuntu2).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required:
  libparmap-ocaml libpycaml-ocaml
  Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This above is the result what I had got on my system when I had the issue.
Most important is that you *must* remove these packages "libparmap-ocaml
libpycaml-ocaml" as they are not required and were installed when you
installed the old Coccinelle version from Ubuntu.

After removing these packages, do 'make distclean' and then
./autogen 
...

as suggested in the instructions.

I also use Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS and now Coccinelle works fine!

Hope this helps.

That's great!  Sorry that the output is so misleading...
