Bug description

Full_Name: Martin Steffen
Version: 3.08.3
OS: Solaris
Submission from: obelix.informatik.uni-kiel.de (134.245.248.199)

the compilation from source breaks.

./configure works fine

make world

breaks, more specifically in otherlibs/graphs. The error message is:

Entering directory /home/provers/src/ocaml-3.08.3/otherlibs/graph' make[1]: *** No rule to make target /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h', needed by
`open.o'. Stop.

The reason seems to be as follows: in the tar-ball, there's a file

otherlibs/graphs/.depend

the dependencies reported there do not match my system (as can be seen
in the above error message.

It seems that the .depend-file is not update by the makefiles or whereever it
should be updated.

Here's a ``makeshift'' solution that at least let the compilation run through

after the central make world exits, do

• cd otherlibs/graph
• make depend
• make (***)
• cd ../.. (go back to top level)
• make wolrd (continue and pray)

(actually, it continues to compile, but (***) produces a lot of warnings looking
all like

/opt/X11R5/include/X11/Xlib.h:3438: warning: type defaults to int' in declaration of XSelectInput'
