I'm having difficulty installing PCRE-OCaml in my Cygwin OCaml
installation. I have the packages OCaml 3.08.1-1, libpcre 6.3-1, and
pcre 6.3-1 all from a default recent Cygwin installation, so it seems to
me that I should be able to install PCRE-OCaml (I'm getting the most
recent version, 5.10.1) straight away. Here is what I get, though:
=====
/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1 $ make
[everything succeeds, though there is one warning:
pcre_stubs.c:1: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position
independent)
]
/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1 $ make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib'
Installing library with ocamlfind
ocamlfind install pcre META pcre.mli pcre.cmi pcre.cma pcre.cmxa pcre.a
libpcre_stubs.a dllpcre_stubs.so
ocamlfind: Package pcre is already installed; please remove it first -
(directory /usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/pcre already exists)
make[1]: *** [libinstall] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib'
make: *** [install] Error 2
=====
If I try to uninstall, however, I get the following problem:
=====
/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1 $ make uninstall
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib'
Uninstalling library with ocamlfind
ocamlfind remove pcre
ocamlfind: Package `pcre' not found
make[1]: *** [libuninstall] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib'
make: *** [uninstall] Error 2
=====
Now, the directory /usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/pcre is actually empty; if I
delete it and try to install, the following happens:
=====
$ make install
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib'
Installing library with ocamlfind
ocamlfind install pcre META pcre.mli pcre.cmi pcre.cma pcre.cmxa pcre.a
libpcre_stubs.a dllpcre_stubs.so
ocamlfind: dllpcre_stubs.so: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [libinstall] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/pcre-ocaml-5.10.1/lib'
make: *** [install] Error 2
=====
Any suggestions? I really hate using the str library for regular
expressions, since it has global state.
I notice that Brian Donovan asked the same thing (though he was trying
to install it using the MSVC and Win32 makefiles, both of which failed)
about 18 months ago, and didn't seem to get a satisfactory reply!

Also look into /usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/stublibs and delete the
PCRE-related DLL files.

Hmm...I don't even have a /usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib/stublibs directory!
Do you mean /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs? That directory is empty; removing
it doesn't change the error messages that I get with make install.
Thanks though...

This is your problem. It is attempting to install a .so file, which
_cannot_ exist, since (a) Cygwin uses .dll for shared libraries rather
than .so, and (b) the Cygwin port of OCaml does not support shared
libraries in any case.
Rebuild PCRE for static linking only, and it should install happily.

Thank you! This worked. (FWIW: I did this by uncommenting the line
export STATIC = yes
in the top-level Makefile.conf)
I don't understand how to refer to the pcre module with ocamlc or the
toplevel, but I suspect this is more of a newbie question so I'm moving
it into the caml-beginnners list.
Many thanks.
Roger

FWIW, the experimental 3.08.1-2 version of ocaml on Cygwin does support
shared libraries (at least to the extent of allowing loading them from the
top-level). I'm slowly working towards adding full shared library support
so that all tools do the right thing when building packages.
