Re: [Caml-list] lablgtk with OCamlMakefile

[Oliver Bandel <oliver@first.in-berlin.de>]

Hello Adrien,


thank you for adding this correction.

Using Markus' hint did work.

But I now changed my setup  in the following way:


I again use  "lablgtk2" (instead of "lablgtk2.auto-init")
in the "PACKS"-section of my Makefile.

And I added the line

   let locale = GtkMain.Main.init () in

as first line in my GUI-code.


Doing it this way, it also works; I get a GUI instead of a crash.

I hope this is the correct and recommended way now.

Remark on the README-file:

The line with "GtkMain.Main.init ()" I found in the
README of lablgtk, which you seemed to refer to.

Normally this README is not seen, because when installing
the lablgtk-package, it will just be the working code become installed,
and the README does not show up.

Possibly it makes sense to have doc-packages, which install
the documentation also.
(It's on Arch-linux, and no docs are installed by default.)


Thanks a lot,
        Oliver
