Summary

0004783: ocamlmklib uses hardcoded path to ocamlc and ocamlopt (Windows native)

Description

ocamlmklib tries to invoke ocamlc as C:\ocamlms\bin\ocamlc which is not where ocaml is installed.

I think it would be better to invoke simply "ocamlc" (as it already calls flexlink without a full path) relying on PATH environment variable, and if one needs specific path -- use -ocamlc option.

The same goes for ocamlopt.

(0005208) Christophe Troestler (reporter) 2009-12-28 02:59	For the mingw port, the path is C:\ocamlmgw\bin\ocamlc — the same goes for ocamlopt. The fact that this is hardcoded is not so much a problem than the fact that it is NOT the default path of the OCaml installer! Of course one can use the -ocamlc (resp. -ocamlopt) options but this should not be necessary (and libraries makefiles do not usually do that).

(0005217) xleroy (administrator) 2010-01-04 17:37	Tentative fix in 3.11 branch (do not use absolute paths when running under Win32). Will go in 3.11.2.
