[Caml-list] not a compilation unit description...

[Caml-list] not a compilation unit description...

[Arne Koewing]

compiling one of my programms with the native code compiler
i get this error, does anyone know waht it exactly means?

ocamlfind ocamlopt -noassert -inline 10  -a -o jammal.cmxa -package "pxp" \
  -linkpkg \
  -predicates "" jammal_parser.cmx
/usr/lib/ocaml/pcre/pcre.cmxa is not a compilation unit description.

I had a look to the compiler-source, this message should only be printed
if an .cmx file has the wrong magic number.
this file is an .cmxa with a correct magic number but it seems the
native-code compiler wants to treat it as a .cmx file.

any ideas? (is it a bug?)

 thanks for help,

 Arne Koewing

Which version of the various debian packages are you using?

To build against ocaml pcre bindings you also need to install
libpcre3-dev, version 4.26.3-1 of the ocaml pcre debian package doesn't
declare the dependency on libpcre3-dev, I fixed the problem in 4.26.3-2.
BTW have you installed libpcre3-dev package?

Cheers.

That's ok, could you send me a small subset of your sources with which I
can reproduce the problem?
I've used pcre without problems and I can't figure out from yout
description where is the bug, if any, with debian pcre ocaml package.

Cheers.
