In the future, please use WikiFormatting and add the port maintainer(s) to Cc (port info --maintainers jekyll), if any.

[borwick (John Borwick)]

This is a total kludge but, after the build failed, I did this to get jekyll installed:

sudo -s # become root
cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_jekyll/jekyll/work/jekyll-ocaml
export OCAMLPARAM="safe-string=0,_"
make
port install jekyll

I did this based on this OCaml build error on another project: ​https://github.com/facebook/flow/issues/5270

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

@borwick: I can confirm that adding the following to the Portfile allows it to build for me (on Mojave). Thank you! I will commit this change soon.

build.env-append  OCAMLPARAM="safe-string=0,_"
