[Caml-list] Question about linking C++ and OCAML

[Caml-list] Question about linking C++ and OCAML

Hello all,
  I'm new to OCAML.  I have written C++ code which needs to call a OCAML subroutine (written by somebody else).  I'm using a Windows XP/Pentium 4 system and have the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.  I was wondering if anybody has experience doing this and could kindly give me some instructions on how to accomplish this.

With much appreciation,

You may use the ODLL tool from the http://tech.motion-twin.com/

``ODLL is creating a Win32 DLL from an OCaml library, and
automatically generating the C stubs needed to interface the OCaml
code and the C code and the .H interface. Simply run ODLL with you
CMA/CMXA and one or several CMI interfaces and ODLL will do the job
for you.''

I hope it helps you.
