Re: [Caml-list] ocamlc compiles hello world, ocamlopt not

[r0ller@freemail.hu]

Hi Gerd,

If that's really the case (still I'm trying to find the post mentioned by Francois), then my question is if there's any doc about how to do it? I'm asking because I'm more a guy with C/C++ knowledge. Actually, the library I'd like to link my C/C++ project with originally has a C lib on platforms that have ocamlopt but I don't mind if I'm interfacing with a byte code lib if it's also possible.

Thanks&regards,
r0ller
