Summary

0004653: Install utils/config.cmi so OCaml programs can query their environment

Description

toplevellib.cma contains utils/config.cmo which contains useful information for OCaml based installers. If utils/config.cmi is installed as well then it would be possible to access this information.

Additional Information

This allows, for example, extlib's installer to detect the correct extension for native code files (.o or .obj) without having to grep the output of ocamlc -config

Tags

Notes
(0004819) glondu (reporter) 2009-01-18 15:26	This might also be useful when writing ocamlbuild plugins, by the way.

(0007451) 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.
