Hi,
Here is a patch to add support to the upcoming OCaml 5.0 to hivex: https://
github.com/kit-ty-kate/hivex/commit/e89b4ab014fa764bf392275ba0dfa7631ea7689b
This new release of the compiler will be released early next month.
Thanks - I have pushed this ...
Note: this patch breaks support for OCaml < 4.07. If you want to
keep support I suppose you can add some hacks in the configure.ac
file to add "module Stdlib = Pervasives" at the start of the
"generator/generator.ml" file but I'm not sure how worth to you it
is to support old +5 years old compilers.
Yes this does in fact break RHEL 7 (ocaml 4.05). However hivex was
already broken on RHEL 7 because of a mismatch with the GNU gettext
version. Also hivex is a package that we rarely need to touch and
RHEL 7 is going out of support. So I think we're fine here.
