Bug description

camlp4/etc/Makefile changes I made to build under win32:

change .a to .$(A) and .o to .$(O)
$ diff ../ocaml308/ocaml/camlp4/etc/Makefile camlp4/etc/Makefile
35c35
< mv pr_rp.a pr_rp.o

  mv pr_rp.$(A) pr_rp.$(O)

40c40
< mv pr_op.a pr_op.o

  mv pr_rp.$(A) pr_rp.$(O)

45c45
< mv pr_schemep.a pr_schemep.o

  mv pr_schemep.$(A) pr_schemep.$(O)

(You can ignore me; I solved my problem...)

By the way, adding LIB to my environment variables in Cygwin bash didn't seem to help find tk84.lib and tcl84.lib. It seems that link looks at a cmd.exe parent's environment variables instead of inheriting from bash.exe? But I just tried it again and it worked fine, after changing LIB in Control Panel / System / Environment and restarting my shell.

first approach (some history):

1698 export LIB=$LIB:c:/tcl
1701 export LIB=$LIB:c:/tcl/lib
1707 export LIB=$LIB:"c:\tcl\lib"
1709 export LIB=$LIB:"c:\tcl\lib\"

.all failed so I did this in desperation:
1736 for d in otherlibs/labltk/[a-z]*/ ; do cp c:/tcl/lib/*84.lib $d; done

But now it works fine, after changing LIB in system vars and:

rm otherlibs/labltk//t84.lib
cd otherlibs/labltk
make -f Makefile.nt clean
cd ../..
make -f Makefile.nt world

$ diff ./ocaml308/ocaml/camlp4/etc/Makefile camlp4/etc/Makefile
