Summary

0001804: "make install" should install interface files for toploop-manipulation modules

Description

Full_Name: Aleksey Nogin
Version: 3.06, 3.07beta2
OS: Red Hat Linux
Submission from: mojave1.cs.caltech.edu (131.215.44.186)

In order to create a custom Ocaml toploop and to be able to manipulate it
successfuly, one needs access to a bunch of interface files that are not
normally copied into LIBDIR by ocaml's "make install". For example, to be able
to compile code that uses Toplevel.execute_phrase, one needs access to
parsetree.cmi...

Currently (see http://cvs.metaprl.org:12000/cvsweb/metaprl/editor/ml/shell_p4.ml?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup [^]
for the code of the file that manipulates the toploop) we end up having to
manually copy the files:

parsing/location.cmi parsing/location.mli parsing/longident.cmi
parsing/longident.mli parsing/parsetree.cmi parsing/parsetree.mli
typing/typecore.cmi typing/typecore.mli

to LIBDIR. Would you please consider modifying the "install" target in the
Makefile to copy these files (and may be other interface files needed to take
full advantage of Toploop module - such as env.{mli,cmi}, for example) somewhere
under LIBDIR?

Thanks a lot!

Notes
(0007452) xleroy (administrator) 2012-05-24 18:19	Upcoming release 4.00 installs a big chunk of compiler internal files in `ocamlc -where `/compiler-libs. You should find everything you need there.
