Thanks. Only a small thing: not many people will have multiple Camel's installed, but some Felix developers will, at least whilst we're trying to get all the different build configurations to work ;( > > I have, and need, all three versions of Ocaml installed, > > and it is all very confusing, both MingW and native ports > > think they own the world and use the same OCAMLLIB variable, > > and also both expect themselves to be first in the PATH. >=20 > Personally MingW should come second to MSVS. But I don't think your > 'first in PATH' to be correct. I'm not even sure why OCAMLLIB is set: the doco claims it isn't needed for XP.

Well, there is a linker, LINK.EXE .. and an assembler, ML.EXE, so why would you need a C/C++ compiler if ocamlopt generates assmebler only? Anyhow thanks: it's only a minor thing .. but it is very confusing, especially OCAMLLIB, since it even influences the Cygwin version of Ocaml (and then can't find Pervasives) --=20 John Skaller --=-z0TglSlBna0S+Yj6yOfA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDFvrBsRp8/9aGVGsRAhn4AJ9Q4kewK9ezE+t6G4GFzouHRradrACfd8Ic 00myL2BpoTIN0cNzwZsOOGg= =oC5w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-z0TglSlBna0S+Yj6yOfA--
