Changes:
- 1.2.5: Fix: Again CR deletion... Turns out some OS do not understand '\r'
but only '\015' (thanks to Isaiah Weiner)
Support for Win64 (untested; thanks to David Allsopp)
ocamlfind no longer emits auto-generated -ccopt options. These tend to
accumulate, and it is possible that for large projects the maximum command
line length is exceeded. Current versions of the O'Caml compilers do not
need these extra -ccopt anyway, so this code is completely dropped.
- 1.2.4: Fix: Bigarray needs unix (Thanks to Markus Mottl)
Fix: In the version of camlp4 provided by O'Caml 3.11 various libraries do
not contain dynlink anymore. Because of this, dynlink becomes a
prerequisite of camlp4. (Thanks to Martin Jambon)
Attempt: Fixing the space issue for paths (Win32). It is unclear whether it
is solved. (Thanks to Christophe Troestler)
- 1.2.3: Solving the CR deletion differently, to make OS X happy.
- 1.2.2: Fix: Problem with CR character (Cygwin) (Thanks to David Allsopp)
Fix: Case-insensitive filesystems (partially solved) (Thanks to David
Allsopp)
Fix: File name with backslashes at the end (Win32; thanks to Dmitry
Grebeniuk)
- 1.2.1: Fix: Camlp4 rules now activate the stream parser extension
- 1.2: Fix in build scripts: Prepending $(prefix) when installing safe_camlp4
(thanks to Daniel Janus)
Non-existing -I directories are ignored (thanks to Nicolas Pouillard)
A script to create a MacOS X package (thanks to Pietro Abate)
Better support for Windows (with help from Robert Roessler and David
Allsopp)
Support for camlp4 on O'Caml 3.10
Fix: "ocamlfind install" with "-patch" option writes now correct META file
for the case that subpackages occur
Adding environment variable OCAMLFIND_IGNORE_DUPS_IN to reduce the number of
warnings ocamlfind emits
The "findlib" software provides a scheme to manage reusable software
components in the form of libraries, and includes tools that support
this scheme. A library installed as a findlib component is also called
a package. The point is that the findlib scheme allows it to store
metainformation about the library, especially how it can be used in
programs. The packages are kept in the filesystem hierarchy, but the
directory structure is defined by findlib, and there is no way to
deviate from this standard. The library contains functions to look the
directory up that stores a package, to query metainformation about a
package, and to retrieve dependency information about multiple packages.
There is also a tool that allows the user to enter queries on the
command-line. In order to simplify compilation and linkage, there are
new frontends of the various OCaml compilers that can directly deal
with packages.
