Original bug ID: 5659
Reporter: @db4
Status: closed (set by @damiendoligez on 2012-07-17T18:33:08Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Version: 3.12.1
Target version: 4.00.0+dev
Fixed in version: 4.00.0+dev
Category: platform support (windows, cross-compilation, etc)

Bug description

Consider the following scenario (all files are attached below):

C:\Work\Ocaml\Bug\ocamlmklib>make.bat

C:\Work\Ocaml\Bug\ocamlmklib>ocamlc -c foo_stubs.c
foo_stubs.c

C:\Work\Ocaml\Bug\ocamlmklib>ocamlmklib -verbose -Lc:/Ocaml/lib foo.ml foo_stubs
.obj -o foo

  • flexlink -merge-manifest -o .\dllfoo.dll foo_stubs.obj -Lc:/Ocaml/lib

  • link /lib /nologo /out:.\libfoo.lib foo_stubs.obj

  • ocamlc -a -o foo.cma foo.ml -dllib -lfoo -cclib -lfoo -ccopt -Lc:/Ocaml/lib

  • ocamlopt -a -o foo.cmxa foo.ml -cclib -lfoo -ccopt -Lc:/Ocaml/lib

C:\Work\Ocaml\Bug\ocamlmklib>ocamlc -verbose foo.cma bar.ml -output-obj -o bar.obj

  • cl /nologo -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE /Ox /MD -c -Lc:/Ocaml/lib -I"C:\Ocaml\lib" "bar.c"
    cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option '-Lc:/Ocaml/lib' bar.c
    C:\Work\Ocaml\Bug\ocamlmklib>

Note strange "-ccopt -Lc:/Ocaml/lib" that ocamlmklib generates and that is not recognized later by Microsoft C compiler. Why -L path is put into -ccopt?
