[Caml-list] camlidl - object filename collides

[Jakob Lichtenberg]

(Sorry for previous post with confusing subject please ignore - here we go
again with proper subject but equivalent contents)

I have an idl file foo.idl that is used to produce foo.{h,c.ml.mli}.

However, when I compile foo.ml using the native code compiler I get a
foo.obj file and when I compile foo.c I also get foo.obj.

I of course need both files during the linking phase so 1) either I have
missed a detail or 2) I need to do a name changing stunt?!?

If the name changing stunt is the prefered way to go: How should I do it?
(I can for example rename the foo.c file before compilation and it seems to
work.)

Thanks,

Right, that's a bug in CamlIDL.  The generated C file should be named
differently, e.g. foo_stubs.c, to avoid the collision on object files
that you mention.

Yes, you're free to rename the generated .c file to whatever name is
convenient for you.
