Subject: nonresolved .cma files and errors
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 20:06:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <461C50C7.6090802@yahoo.com> (raw)
Hello caml-list,
I recently had a shocking realization about why some of my experiments
with camlp4 weren't compiling. I had been linking camlp4.cma, which was
the old name of the library. Now camlp4.cma doesn't exist and there are
multiple flavors Camlp4xxx.cma where the xxx is the same flavor notation
of the the preprocessor binaries. So the trouble is, why was linking
such a library not a fatal? Apparently all missing .cma and .cmo files
passed on the command line are considered non-errors. It seems intutive
to me that both should be fatals!
~/src/camlp4-beta jehenrik$ ocamlc -I +camlp4 -pp camlp4orf junk.cma
camlp4orf.cma -c dynamic_functor_example3.ml
~/src/camlp4-beta jehenrik$ ocamlc -I +camlp4 -pp camlp4orf junk.cmo
camlp4orf.cma -c dynamic_functor_example3.ml
~/src/camlp4-beta jehenrik$ ocamlc -I +camlp4 -pp camlp4orf junk.ml
camlp4orf.cma -c dynamic_functor_example3.ml
I/O error: "junk.ml: No such file or directory"
Preprocessor error
This is the behavior in 3.09.3 as well. What is the rationale behind
this design choice?
Regards,
Jeff Henrikson
