[Caml-list] Adding libraries to mod_caml

[Caml-list] Adding libraries to mod_caml

[Matt Gushee]

Hello, all (& Rich) --

I have written a library that I would like to use with mod_caml. The
library is pure OCaml, but it depends on another pure OCaml library
which in turn depends on Unix and Dbm. I have tried modifying the
mod_caml Makefile to include my library--specifically, I added the
library path to OCAMLCINCS and the .cma file to ALL_CMAS, but I continue
to get 'unbound module' errors.

What else do I need to do?

Try adding:
CamlLoad /path/to/your.cma
to your httpd.conf

Ah! Well, that's a start. But now when I restart Apache, I get:

  Failure("error while linking /opt/ocaml/lib/site-lib/ocre/ocre.cma")
  Undefined global 'Stream'.

??

I don't think I want to CamlLoad the whole standard library ... is there
something in the mod_caml Makefile I can do to make sure Stream (and
whatever else I need) is included?

I'm not really familiar with Stream.  Is that included in the standard
library (ie. stdlib.cma)?

I'm not sure why the ALL_CMAS trick you mention in your original
posting doesn't work.  Perhaps you didn't install the new version of
mod_caml or restart Apache?

There is a Stream module inside the standard library. It is mostly
useful when using the stream syntactic extension (provided by camlp4).

Oh, yes. That's why I made that facetious remark about CamlLoading the
standard library.

The above error was triggered by restarting Apache. However, I was in
fact not using the latest version (it was 1.0.6). I must confess I have
this semi-philosophical, semi-emotional resistance to *blindly*
upgrading things in the hope that it will fix the problem of the moment.
But if you think it will help I'll try it.

Almost true, but not quite: we are specifically admonished *not* to use
Stream module streams (e.g. Stream.of_string "abcde") with literal
streams ([< 'foo; 'bar >])--which limits the usefulness of the Stream
module. But it can be helpful for tasks that involve scanning a string
character-by-character.

Many thanks to all who responded. I'll report back after trying the
latest mod_caml.

I think if you're doing any serious mod_caml development, then
following the CVS head is probably a good idea.  You can easily get
the latest CVS updates from savannah; see here:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=modcaml

I had a similar problem with CamlTemplate; you might have to do what I 
did, which is link a .cmo into mod_caml that calls a trivial function in 
CamlTemplate.  This seemed to be necessary to convince Dynlink to load 
the things CamlTemplate depends on.  See camlTemplateInit.ml in the 
CamlTemplate distribution[1], and the use of camlTemplateInit.cmo in 
mod_caml's Makefile.
