For the first style, there is now an option "ldconf" that determines whether the ld.conf file is to be updated, and if so, which file. The latter style is enabled by simply creating a directory "libexec" in the site-lib directory. - "ocamlfind install" preserves now the mtime of the files. - "ocamlfind printconf" is more flexible, and easier to call from scripts. - "ocamlfind browser" calls ocamlbrowser with the right -I options. - "ocamlfind query": -descendants implies now -recursive. - "ocamlfind ocamldep": -native-filter and -bytecode-filter for more exact dependency generation. - There may be now postinstall and postremove scripts. - "ocamlfind pkg/cmd": This syntax can be used to call the program cmd that is installed in the package directory for pkg. Intended to simplify the invocation of programs that are installed in package directories and not in XXX/bin, which may be useful for package- related tools. - Findlib has now a toolbox containing helpful programs besides ocamlfind. For the beginning, there is a Makefile wizard that can be called by "ocamlfind findlib/make_wizard". - #use "topfind" instead of #use "findlib" to avoid name clashes in a certain configuration. #use "findlib" and #use "ocamlfind" are still supported for backward compatibility if the name clash does not occur. - Fix: bytecode threads work again. (The wrong unix library was linked for recent O'Caml versions.) - Many smaller improvements; the docs have been updated. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gerd Stolpmann Telefon: +49 6151 997705 (privat) Viktoriastr. 45 64293 Darmstadt EMail: gerd@gerd-stolpmann.de Germany ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
