From c734ccd8081e52ee5576d0efac9b065d4f37f7d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pierre Letouzey Date: Wed, 22 Jan 2014 17:33:55 +0100 Subject: Coqmktop without Sys.command, changes in ./configure -*byteflags options NB: Please re-run ./configure after pulling this commit For launching ocamlc/ocamlopt, coqmktop doesn't use Sys.command anymore, but rather CUnix.sys_command, which is based on Unix.create_process. This way, we do not need to bother with the underlying shell (/bin/sh or cmd.exe) and the way arguments are to be quoted :-). Btw, many cleanups of coqmktop. Only difficulty: the -coqrunbyteflags of ./configure is a "meta-option" that collect as a string several sub-options to be given by coqmktop to ocamlc. For instance ./configure -coqrunbyteflags "-dllib -lcoqrun". We need now to parse all these sub-options. To ease that, I've made the following changes to the ./configure options: * The -coqrunbyteflags and its blank-separated argument isn't accepted anymore, and is replaced by a new option -vmbyteflags which expects a comma-separated argument. For instance: ./configure -vmbyteflags "-dllib,-lcoqrun" Btw, on this example, the double-quotes aren't mandatory anymore :-) * The -coqtoolsbyteflags isn't accepted anymore. To the best of my knowledge, nobody ever used it directly (it was internally triggered as a byproduct of the -custom option). The only interest I can think of for this option was to cancel the default use of ocamlc custom-linking on Win32 and MacOS. For that, ./configure now provides a -no-custom option. --- INSTALL | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'INSTALL') diff --git a/INSTALL b/INSTALL index a868f8fc8b..ca8d705c50 100644 --- a/INSTALL +++ b/INSTALL @@ -315,7 +315,7 @@ DYNAMICALLY LOADED LIBRARIES FOR BYTECODE EXECUTABLES. the directory of the standard library of OCaml; - recompile your bytecode executables after reconfiguring the location of of the shared library: - ./configure -coqrunbyteflags "-dllib -lcoqrun -dllpath " ... + ./configure -vmbyteflags "-dllib,-lcoqrun,-dllpath," ... where is the directory where the dllcoqrun.so is installed; - (not recommended) compile bytecode executables with a custom OCaml runtime by using: -- cgit v1.2.3
