Re: [Caml-list] ocamlfind: When using -syntax, the META variable 'preprocessor' must be set

[Christophe Papazian <christophe.papazian@gmail.com>]

I got this problem a few days ago, and need a quick fix.
Everything was installed but after an upgrade I got the same kind of  
error.
To avoid the problem, i drop the "-syntax" parameter and replace it  
with "-pp" :

What *should* work for me : ocamlfind ocamlc -package js_of_ocaml - 
syntax camlp4o
What's *really* work for me : ocamlfind ocamlc -package js_of_ocaml - 
pp "camlp4o -I /path/to/js_of_ocaml pa_js.cmo"

Hope this help
