Re: [Caml-list] Bug in libunix.a + Patch

[Keyan <ml@pulsschlag.net>]

Hi,

I will post it on the bug tracker too. My setting is:

Mac OS X 10.7.4
gcc version: i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2
ocaml 3.12.1
Xcode 4.3.3 (4E3002)

I don't develop in Xcode, but use makefiles instead. Homebrew was used to install ocaml.

The error only occurs when linking to a dynamic lib, not when I link against an executable (main loop in c).

Best,
Keyan
