problem with ocamlbuild #1

Closed lefessan closed 13 years ago

lefessan commented 13 years ago

I do not have ocamlbuild installed on my system. How can I do to compile numcaml ?

(actually, it is somewhere, but I have the choice between a version that doesn't understand -use-findlib, and one that understands it, but findlib does not understand its arguments...)

Maybe such a "core" library should not have dependencies towards external tools such as findlib and ocamlbuild ?

Well, ocamlbuild is supposed to be distributed with the main distribution of ocaml :-) And ocamlfind is used by almost everyone in the community (and I am not sure how to write generic Makefile without findlib).

I'm very happy to drop the use of these tools when we'll have better tools; For now I will try to remove the findlib dependencies (mainly OUnit and some camlp4 magics).
