* [Caml-list] Linking the num library with and without ocamlfind @ 2015-09-22 16:23 Christian Lindig 2015-09-22 22:37 ` Gerd Stolpmann 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: Christian Lindig @ 2015-09-22 16:23 UTC (permalink / raw) To: caml-list The “num" arbitrary precision library is part of the OCaml distribution and is linked as nums.cm(x)a. - note the trailing “s”. I noticed that the corresponding package for ocamlfind is called “num” - without the trailing “s”, and that the documentation also refers to the library as “num” but not “nums”. Is there a reason for this? I tripped over it when switching to/from ocamlfind. http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libnum.html — Christian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Is there a reason for this? I tripped over it when switching to/from ocamlfind. In the source tree it is in otherlibs/num. The README file there calls it libnum. It was me who called it num in findlib, but I do not remember exactly why (years ago). Maybe I just picked one of the several names without thinking too much about it.
