It enable to have + a bare minimum install of Ocaml library. + + + + As for ocaml this package provides + a virtual package &ocaml-base-pkg;. This will help to track + incompatible changes made within the same version of Ocaml. + + + + + + File terminology for Ocaml packaging + + + Ocaml is a complete language allowing to create : + + bytecoded executable + bytecoded library ( *.cma ) + native executable + native library ( *.cmxa ) + shared library ( for C-binding ) ( dll*.so ) + static library ( for C-binding ) ( lib*.a ) + bytecoded object ( *.cmo ) + native object ( *.cmx ) + configuration file for handling library ( META ) + + + + + There is a convention considering that native executable should be + called progname.opt and bytecoded one + progname.byte. When packaging, only progname is + taken in account. + + + + For easying library management, the Ocaml Task Force used the + ocamlfind library management scheme. + This scheme includes a file named META which holds + all the library possibility. This is the configuration file for + handling library ( see XXX ). + + + + + Library paths + + Ocaml will search library in two different location, referred to + as local which hold user installed library and as + core in which packaged modules stood. + + + + By default, ocaml will look for modules in this order : + + + local + + /usr/local/lib/ocaml/ocaml_version/ + /usr/local/lib/ocaml/ocaml_version/ + + + + + Documentation + + + + + + + Locally installed library + + + Camlp4 files + + + + + Packaged library + + + Camlp4 files + + + + + Packaged program + + + + Managing version transition + + + + Debian Ocaml task force + +
