Greetings,
I have a question regarding the ./configure options for MacOS/Darwin.
./configure selects the -bundle option for MKSHAREDLIB, which
has the effect of creating MacOS bundle type files for the dynamically
linked libraries in lib/ocaml/stublibs. I have had trouble linking
these bundle files with the standard dynamically linked libraries
created with the -dynamiclib option. As an experiment, I replaced
-bundle by -dynamiclib and attempted to rebuild the O'Caml compiler,
but got an error deep in compilation of the compiler. Ultimately,
I just made the otherlibs/* libraries by hand with -dynamiclib and was able
to link my application.
I will admit that I am overwhelmed by the Darwin documentation
that explains how to port a Linux application to MacOS.
Can someone explain why the -bundle option is necessary to the compiler
compilation?
Is it because the O'Caml compiler a full-fledged Mac application?
Thanks, Mary
