ocamlrun.a

ocamlrun.a

[Christophe Papazian]

I tried to compile LablPCRE on mac os X (Tiger), but this error  
happened :

ld  -o dllpcre.so  ml_pcre.d.o libpcre.a `ocamlc.opt -where`/ocamlrun.a
ld: can't open: /usr/local/lib/ocaml/ocamlrun.a (No such file or  
directory, errno = 2)

ok, so there is no ocamlrun.a. These must be due to mac os X, and  
some dynamic feature (?)

Anyway, how can I compile LablPCRE on my computer ? and how can I  
compile all those library/packages
that I will probably use in a near future that all need ocamlrun.a ??


Thanks

PS : I am sorry if it is a newbie question, but I don't find the  
answer in the archives...

Well, we are still waiting for some kind soul or souls to contribute 
more "*nix-like" sections and settings for the LablPCRE Makefile.  As 
distributed, the package is able to be built (as stated in the 
Makefile) with a Microsoft toolchain for Windows... :)

Not that it solves your problem, but there is a newer and much 
improved version of the package at

http://www.rftp.com/LablPCRE-0.9.tar.gz

I have been holding off release in the hope that some of the needed 
other build settings would come trickling in.
