Original bug ID: 303 Reporter: administrator Status: closed Resolution: fixed Priority: normal Severity: minor Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)
The file camlheader contains a full directory path to ocamlrun . While this
might be a good practice on a multi-user environment (especially UNIX), on
Macintosh (under MPW) this causes some problems:
It creates nightmares in distribution, as every Macintosh users tend to name
their harddisks differently and put their MPW folders in different places.
Whenever somebody moves the MPW folder, rename the harddisk, etc., ocaml is
broken.
Here is my patch to remove the full-path from camlheader:

The advantage is that ocamlrun doesn't need to be in the command
path. But I agree the problems are more important, so I'll make the
change.
