Arch Linux

Hello,
I've taken the place of exterm as Maintainer of this package. Version 1.1.1 will arrive in a few days so I will skill the current 1.1.0.
Many thanks to exterm for the work done previously.

I no longer use opa at the moment. Is someone willing to adopt this package?

Nice, thanks @Qoru.

I can confirm that filetype detection and syntax highlighting in vim works.

updated to 1.0.7. Sorry for taking so long.

Thanks @pisuka for the PKGBUILD, I took some things from it.
I would be happy to incorporate more changes from that PKGBUILD if someone can explain the benefits ;-)

Also, I don't use vim, can someone verify that the vim integration works?

opa 1.0.7 is out. Will update the package as soon as possible.

As far as I can tell, this is the new normal for npm apparently for version management reasons. From what I can tell, globally installed npm packages aren't linkable unless you expressly link them using npm link <package>. When you npm install without -g, then it installs libraries to ./node_modules and I can only compile projects with a root directory in the same directory as node_modules. Globally installed packages with command-line interfaces do seem to work without adjustment. So, it seems to me, although it is a bit clunky, it is working as intended.

Okay, this seems really strange: Looks like I can only run

% opa create test

in ~/ . In any other folder I get the error I reported.

Hi exterm,

thanks for that tip. I tried this but it couldn't solve my problem. (I put it in my ~/.zshrc.local because I'm using zsh.) I also updated to the recent version of opa-bin but still got the same error.

niklaas@len-t420 ~ % echo $NODE_PATH
/home/niklaas/.npm:/home/niklaas/.npm:

So my changes took effect but it doesn't help anything.

The only thing that helped was not installing the node modules globally, indeed just with running "npm install <modules>" (without "-g"). Now it works. Do you have a clue why? Is this a bug?

Added 32bit support via the new 32bit binary from opalang.org

Hi niklaas,

the first line is only a warning and should not cause any problems.

The second line is probably printed because opa can't find the node modules. I myself did not install the modules globally so I ran just

% npm install mongodb formidable nodemailer simplesmtp imap

but that didn't suffice, I got the same error as you. It seems that is a problem with the nodejs package. I had to add ~/.npm to the NODE_PATH too.
I added this line to my ~/.bashrc and everything was fine afterwards:

export NODE_PATH=$HOME/.npm:$NODE_PATH

Please get back to me if that doesn't work.

Hi, I get the following error

% opa create chat
This version of node (v0.8.5) has not been tested with Opa. Use it at your own risks. The last known supported version is v0.8.2
5 modules are missing. Please run: npm install -g mongodb formidable nodemailer simplesmtp imap

even after installing the needed packages with npm.

at the moment, this is 64 bit only.

build 2988 should work now.

yes, I also get an md5 error when traing to run the 2988 install script.
I have filed an upstream bug report: https://github.com/MLstate/opalang/issues/79

I tried the build 2988 but the package seems to be broken (always get ms5-missmatch after running it).

rebuilding now. Should finish the package in a few minutes.

Hello, this should be fixed in build 2988. The 1.0.5 build 2980 was not the final one. Could you rebuild a package ?

Does anyone ever get `opa create myapp` working? It doesn't seem to find the opa node packages. It returns:

“Opa dependencies are missing, make sure your NODE_PATH is correctly set up. You can have a look at the head of this file for hints about where Opa modules might be installed.”


I can add /usr/lib/opa/static to NODE_PATH to come to the next error (Cannot find module 'unix.opp') and finally add /usr/lib/opa/stdlib to get to where I'm currently stuck: Cannot find module 'stdlib.core.opx'.

Great, the installation is working now, but not the native backend (--back-end native when compiling) is not working (lacking /usr/lib/opa/stdlib/stdlib.qmlflat, upstream bug).
For the nodejs backend, you need to set NODE_PATH=/usr/lib/node_modules (opa runtime is looking in /usr/local/lib/node_module by default). You can see it by looking inside a produced .js file.

It would be a good idea to set it when installing the package, since it's needed. Or maybe talk to the nodejs package maintainer.

Please provide more information about the occuring error.

this works on my computer:

$ opa test.opa
$ ./test.js

Should be fixed.

I got the (beautiful) following error :
/usr/bin/opa: ligne16: /tmp/yaourt-tmp-gabriel/aur-opa-bin/pkg/usr/lib/opa/bin/opa-bin: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type (No such file, sorry, french ;)

also, nodejs and mongodb should be at least optional dependences

There may be some dependencies missing. Please report if you find them.
