ocamlmktop 3.10 fails to link cmo files?

ocamlmktop 3.10 fails to link cmo files?

[Massimiliano Brocchini]

Hi all,

I tried to make a custom top level using ocamlmktop (ocaml 3.10). I
tried several approaches but I wasn't able to correctly link cmo files
not belonging to the standard library.

e.g. ocamlmktop -I /home/massimiliano/ocaml_code/sequence/
sequence.cmo -o mytop
gives no error and build mytop
but in mytop open Sequence fails reporting an unbound module

while

ocaml -I /home/massimiliano/ocaml_code/sequence/  sequence.cmo
works as expected and allows me to open the module.

Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

Ciao, Massimiliano Brocchini

Try this:
	% mytop -I /home/massimiliano/ocaml_code/sequence/
or this:
	% cd /home/massimiliano/ocaml_code/sequence/
	% ./mytop
So mytop will know where to find the .cmi.

Thanks for your reply.

This works....
but doesn't the need to specify the include path reduce the usefulness
of building a custom top level?

You could wrap the custom top level inside a shell script,
see the lablgtk2 shell script for instance:
