The main problem is that the Macintosh version of Caml Light does not have the -custom compiler option, nor the camlmktop command. Libraries containing C code, such as libstr and libnum, are therefore useless. This said, it wouldn't be too hard to have -custom and camlmktop working on the Macintosh; it's just that we've assumed that few Macintosh users have MPW. Let us (caml-light@margaux.inria.fr) know if you are interested. Otherwise, the libraries libstr and libnum from the Unix version should be easy to port to the Macintosh. I did the port for a close cousin of libnum and encountered few problems. - Xavier Leroy
