[Caml-list] Compiling with lacaml

[Caml-list] Compiling with lacaml

[Jan Kybic]

Hello,
        this is just my little observation in order to make the
installation of the lacaml library easier. I have downloaded
lacaml-2.2.0.tar.bz2 to my Linux machine, made './configure', 'make'
and 'make install'. To compile my own code, I use OCamlMakefile
where I have added:

        INCDIRS = +site-lib/lacaml
        LIBDIRS = +site-lib/lacaml
        
        LIBS= str bigarray lacaml

Yet, compiling (via 'make nc') did not work - the compiler repeatedly
tried to recompile lapack.ml, which it could not because the library
directory is owned by root and read-only. So, I manually copied
the *.cmo, *.cmi, and *.cmx to it and now it works fine.

Keep up the good work,
                        Jan

You should use Gerd Stolpmann's "findlib" for compiling and linking:

  http://www.ocaml-programming.de/packages

Then you only need to write the following instead of setting INCDIRS,
LIBDIRS and LIBS:

  PACKS = str lacaml

It's not necessary to link bigarray here, because "findlib" knows how
to resolve dependencies (its purpose of existence), i.e. links bigarray
automatically.

Zdravi,
Markus

Yes, that's correct. But even so, it needs the *.cmi, *.cmx and *.cmo
that the lacaml Makefile does not seem to install by default.

P.S. Diky za radu.

The *.cmo and *.cmx-files need not be installed, because they are part
of the *.cma and *.cmxa-library files respectively. The *.cmi-files
are installed as required. I have just tested the library installation,
and it seems to work fine on my system.

Markus
