Summary

0004920: example of linking C main with OCaml runtime needs additional libraries

Description

In the manual chapter "Interfacing C with Objective Caml", subsection "Advanced topic: callbacks from C to Caml", sub-subsection "Embedding the Caml code in the C code":

1. It's not necessary to include unix.cma in the ocamlopt command, or -lunix in the gcc command (unless required by the OCaml code, of course)

2. It is necessary to add both "-lm" and "-ldl" at the end of the gcc command line.

(on Linux, at least)

Notes
(0006914) doligez (manager) 2012-02-10 17:33	About (1): I think that's quite clear from the manual: it includes this sentence: >> For instance, assume the OCaml part of your program uses the Unix library.
