Are you saying that if I have a library that relies on libraries and I want to distribute it, all I have to do is add findlib with no other effort. If not then findlib is not the solution to this problem. ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
