[MLton-user] Problems building on Snow Leopard

[Colin Fleming]

Hi all,

I've been trying to build MLton on Snow Leopard from trunk (r7407),
because the binary 20070826 build doesn't work - it gives a bunch of
errors that seem to be related to being a 64-bit platform. I'm using
'make TARGET_ARCH=x86_64 smlnj-mlton', which I saw in a previous mail
of John Reppy's. I'm trying to build with SML/NJ to bootstrap before
building with MLton. The SML/NJ I'm using is:

Standard ML of New Jersey v110.71 [built: Thu Nov 26 23:38:52 2009]

I'm getting the following errors:

Any suggestions?
