Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

Full_Name: Brian Emre Aydemir
Version: 3.08.0
OS: Mac OS X (10.3.4)
Submission from: cs2437-119.austin.rr.com (24.243.7.119)

Problem: It appears that ranlib is not run on the *.a files installed into
lib/ocaml/camlp4.

To reproduce, I think the following works. Download OCaml 3.08.0 sources, build
(using "make world.opt"), and install. I used a prefix of /Users/emre/Install.
No other options were given to ./configure. At this point, note that
./configure finds ranlib, and that neither "make world.opt" and "make install"
list ranlib being run on anything installed into lib/ocaml/camlp4. Now try
linking against camlp4.cmxa, for example. ld complains that the table of
contents on camlp4.a is out of date, and linking fails:

ld: table of contents for archive: /Users/emre/Install/lib/ocaml/camlp4/camlp4.a
is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)

=====

The exact problem I run into happens while compiling MetaPRL
(http://www.metaprl.org/). The particular command is below. Running ranlib as
the output suggests fixes the problem.

ocamlopt.opt -warn-error Ae -w Ae -pp "camlp4r -I

Dear Brian,

Thanks for the report. I've added the appropriate calls to ranlib in the CVS
branches (nightly updated).

Hi Michel,

I've taken a look at the release308 CVS branch and I see the changes.
However, when I try a "make install" after "./configure" and "make
world.opt", I see the following in the output:

=====
for f in camlp4.a camlp4.p.a ; do
if test -f $f ; then
cp $f "/Users/emre/Research/ocaml-install/lib/ocaml/camlp4/." && (
cd "/Users/emre/Research/ocaml-install/lib/ocaml/camlp4/." && $f ) ;

fi ;
done
/bin/sh: line 1: camlp4.a: command not found

Similar messages appear for odyl.a and gramlib.a. In the Makefiles,
there is a $(RANLIB) before the final $$f ($f in the output above), so
this suggests that $(RANLIB) is undefined. "./configure" reported
"ranlib found", though.

If I add the line "include ../../config/Makefile" to
camlp4/camlp4/Makefile, this fixes the problem for camlp4.a. Similar
changes seem to work for odyl.a and gramlib.a Perhaps this, or some
equivalent code, could be added to the Makefiles?

Thank you,
Brian

Hi Michel,

I've taken a look at the release308 CVS branch and I see the changes.
However, when I try a "make install" after "./configure" and "make
world.opt", I see the following in the output:

Yes, it looks like RANLIB is not defined in your installation. It
would happen if you forgot the initial ./configure.

Here is what should happen: normally, the ./configure calls
camlp4/config/configure_batch which greps the lines about RANLIB in
(ocaml's) config/Makefile. They are sent to
camlp4/config/Makefile.cnf, and finally go to camlp4/config/Makefile.

Could you please check that there is a line grep-ing RANLIB in
your camlp4/config/configure_batch? If no, update from the CVS. If
yes, please try again after a ./configure in the main directory. If
nothing works, then I don't understand...

Thanks,

-- Michel
