It only tests whether it exists on the system and if yes, it tries to link it. (I am sorry for the confusion. I should have chosen different name for the tarball.) I think that *deriving* packages (published in Fedora repositories) do not actually provide all the files that are needed. There might be a good reason to split things into two packages: - ocaml-deriving (e.g.install this if you need to run programs whose implementation takes advantage of the "deriving" syntactic sugar) - ocaml-deriving-devel (e.g. install this if you want to create your own program that takes advantage of the "deriving" syntactic sugar) but I do not understand why "deriving.cma" is in one package and "derving.cmxa" is in the other. Which one should be chosen depends on the fact whether programmer prefers "ocamlc" or "ocamlcopt". Even if I install both---ocaml-deriving as well as ocaml-deriving-devel---I still miss the "pa_deriving.cma". I guess (I am not sure) this is the file that tells camlp4 how to convert deriving-related syntactic sugar to basic Ocaml constructs. GODI provides this file. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ ocaml-devel mailing list ocaml-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/ocaml-devel
