[Caml-list] Native cross compiling and conditional compilation.

[Caml-list] Native cross compiling and conditional compilation.

[Tom Hawkins]

Hi,

My application makes use of the Unix module and currently runs on Linux x86.  
Is there an easy way to native cross compile to other processors and 
architectures like Cygwin, FreeBSD, and Mac X?

Also, I'm trying to port to Cygwin, but I have a very small piece of code that 
needs to change for the port to work.  What is the best way to handle this in 
Ocaml?  I never liked #defines.

Thanks,
Tom

    Camlp4 does provide a conditional compilation facility, and more
    generally some preprocessing ability. I find it very useful (and
    hope that Camlp4 will continue to evolve, perhaps even by being
    more tightly integrated into the compiler. Actually, I would like
    it to become the standard OCaml parser).
