The build plan also shows hints which options in godi.conf have an effect on which package. Further improvements: - For Linux systems, many of the system commands can now be found in both /bin and /usr/bin. There does not seem to be a standard, so GODI now searches the commands. - The bootstrap script tries to pre-configure labltk. It looks into much more locations that the O'Caml configure script. I think this was one of the biggest problems in the first release. - For BSD systems, not all of the bootstrap tools are built. - I have tested GODI on: * Debian Linux * SuSE Linux * Solaris 8 * FreeBSD (ancient version) Note that you will have problems if there is only tcl/tk 8.4; this is an O'Caml 3.06 problem. This release of GODI still supports only 3.06. If it is usable, I will go on with 3.07beta.

Just a marginal comment: when reporting a bug about solaris, you must imperatively tell which C compiler and which linker/assembler you are using (here the linker is clear). GNU and Sun tools have different behaviours, and this might be the cause. (Also I suppose you're working on sparc. For one, I use solaris 8 on x86.) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacques Garrigue Kyoto University garrigue at kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp <A HREF=http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~garrigue/>JG</A> ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Python's distutils relies on Python only, except for two .c files and two .h files in the version for Python 1.5. The version of distutils packaged with Python 2.2 is 100% pure Python.

Nice attempt, and properly splitting the work with ocaml's configuration script. By the way, I'm not sure this is a good idea to make labltk an optional package, for two reasons: - since it gets configured with ocaml, you have to recompile ocaml if something goes wrong (your pre-search may help, but since you don't check by explicitly linking this may still be wrong). - it includes ocamlbrowser, which is an ocaml tool expected to be there If your motivation is to allow binary packages including only part of the stuff, then it might be a better idea to make ocaml a metapackage, and have packages ocaml-core, ocaml-graphics, ocaml-labltk, ocaml-camlp4 as dependencies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacques Garrigue Kyoto University garrigue at kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp <A HREF=http://wwwfun.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~garrigue/>JG</A> ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I am more thinking of server installations without X windows, so the split is X/non-X. camlp4 is part of the main ocaml package, there is really no need to have it separate. Maybe a solution of the configuration problem is to run the configure script again for labltk, but only to use the labltk-specific results (i.e. tkdefs, tklibs). This is more user-friendly than the current solution, and there is no danger to configure the various parts in an incompatible way. Meta packages: nice idea, but the question is what the users want to have. Maybe they are more interested in "distribution sets" for tasks, i.e. a graphics set, a web set, a database set, ...
