caml under FreeBSD.

caml under FreeBSD.

[Pedro Giffuni]

Hello:
Has anyone tried caml 7.1 under FreeBSD? I receive a message while 
building in log.world that it cannot find /lib/cpp (FreeBSD doesn't have 
any /lib).

You should use the small preprocessor that is provided with Caml Light.
Go to src/tools and type "make clprepro".
Change src/Makefile to uncomment the line
  # CPP=../../src/tools/clprepro -Dunix
and comment the line
  CPP=/lib/cpp -P -Dunix

There is a "#ifndef msdos" in lib/filename.mlp.  Exchange the contents
of the "then" and "else" parts and change the #ifndef into #ifdef.

Or simply remove everything between #else and #endif, as well as the
#ifndef line, since you're not under MSDOS.

Now do the "make world", "make bootstrap" etc.

Stop! There is a cpp in FreeBSD. Just, it is not in /lib/cpp but
/usr/bin/cpp. Indeed, there is a line about that in Caml-Light's
Makefile.

So just change
	CPP=/lib/cpp -P -Dunix
to
	CPP=/usr/bin/cpp -P -Dunix
