Known problems

• the plplot binding should be renamed to ocaml-plplot and some link in the package mentions

-L/home/iurt/rpm/BUILD/plplot-5.9.9/build/bindings/ocaml

• ocaml-xen should be split in ocaml-xen and ocaml-xen-devel, (2013-03-04)
  • missing Requires: xen-devel

• cudf-ocaml-devel to be splitted in devel and not

• ocaml-dose3 (Work in progress)
  • To be submitted when cudl 0.6.2 gets out.
  • due to a change in the API, it does not compile anymore, here is the error message:

File "common/cudfAdd.ml", line 128, characters 15-34:
Error: Unbound value Cudf.uid_by_package

• (2012-11-23) it seems that ocaml-js packages the upstream js_of_ocaml, there is already a package named js_of_ocaml

• (2012-11-23) Interface "topdirs.cmi" occurs in several directories:
  • /usr/lib/ocaml/compiler-libs/topdirs.cmi
  • /usr/lib/ocaml/topdirs.cmi

Testing

I order to test the simple linking of installed libraries here is a little script:

#!/bin/bash
PACKAGES=`ocamlfind list | cut -d '(' -f 1 | xargs echo`
MSG="=> All good "
THREAD=-thread
echo "= Testing individual OCaml packages ="
echo "$PACKAGES"
for p in $PACKAGES
do
   ocamlfind ocamlc -o test $THREAD -package $p -linkpkg -g test.ml
   if [ "$?" = "2" ]
   then 
       echo "[Fail] $p Bytecode"
   fi
   ocamlfind ocamlopt -o test $THREAD -package $p -linkpkg -g test.ml
   if [ "$?" = "2" ]
   then 
       echo "[Fail] $p Native"
   fi
done

The test.ml does nothing:

let _ = print_string "Success!\n"

This script notifies only the problems encountered. All native errors are normal if the -devel pacakge is not installed.
