trunk won't build on Ubuntu 14.04 (2.48 release does)

[kaefert]

when trying to build the version published here, I get this error:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/kaefert/src/unison/git/src'
./mkProjectInfo > Makefile.ProjectInfo
Fatal error: exception Scanf.Scan_failure("scanf: bad input at char number 4: 'looking for ':', found '$''")
make[1]: *** Deleting file `Makefile.ProjectInfo'

building the svn trunk gives this error:

File "/home/kaefert/src/unison/trunk/src/uigtk2.ml", line 4015, characters 19-23:
Error: This expression has type unit but an expression was expected of type
         < misc : GObj.misc_ops; .. >
make[1]: *** [uigtk2.cmx] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kaefert/src/unison/trunk/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2

so for my current customization needs I used the branch of the 2.48 release (found it in the svn) which builds just fine on my machine after installing

sudo apt-get install ocaml-nox liblablgtk2-ocaml-dev exuberant-ctags

Well I haven't updated this branch in a long time so it is for sure out of date.

okey. well neither your git master, nor the svn trunk from https://webdav.seas.upenn.edu/svn/unison builds for me. Where should I report this? I tried to register for this mailing list: http://lists.seas.upenn.edu/mailman/listinfo/unison-hackers but it seems I need to be approved by a list admin or something before I can post to it.
