[Caml-list] Library Compile Error

[Caml-list] Library Compile Error

I'm using OCamlMakefile (rather the library that I'm editing uses it, and I
have to use it consequently), and I need to add some package dependencies
in order to recompile each while developing locally before I ship my
changes to opam. Basically, I've added the core and core_kernel packages to
these libraries to make some functions tail recursive. But it's turning out
that using OCamlMakefile has made it more difficult than it sounds.

A is consumed by B, but both must be installed for them to be usable on the
target machine. Currently, you can do an opam install A B and it will
work.  A has been successfully edited and subsequently recompiled to
consume core and core_kernel as it needs to. I was even able to opam pin
the package to get it working locally.

B consumes A, but weirdly, B complains of the following when I try to make
it:

Error: No implementations provided for the following modules:
         Core_kernel referenced from /path/to/(A)
         Core referenced from /path/to/(A)

I noted that in Stack Overflow that there were some issues with casing for
package names when you built stuff. This is strange because when I was
compiling A, it worked fine. I changed the casing to A instead of a in the
OCamlMakefile export PACKS= line, and it failed, unable to find the package
A.

So, A compiles just fine, but B refuses. I tried to change B to specify
various combinations of casing of core (as in: PACKS+=core vs PACKS+=Core)
but that failed too.

So now I don't know how to get B to compile using OCamlMakefile.

I fixed it. It was the package specification order. :(

I wish there were a warning about that in the compiler output that mentions
the lack of implementation that the compiler sees.
