[Ocaml-lib-devel] OCamlMakefile

[Amit D. <ad...@Co...>]

    Hi everyone,

    I must apologize for not (yet) submitting any code, as
I've been a bit busy.  I did, however, just do an update with
the intention of adding more documentation (as this was
recommended as an important goal of reaching 1.0 quickly ;)

    I don't have the ocamake utility, so I couldn't build
anything ;)  I noticed on the list someone suggested a move
to OCamlMakefile.  I hope no one minds, but I've made this
change.  I've also added a few tidbits of ocamldoc comments.
Is it OK if I commit these changes?

About documentation, yes fell free to commit of course !
As for OCamlMakefile , please don't !
OCamlMakefile is doing less then ocamake, and in an non portable way.
If you read the README , you will see : "get and install Ocamake from
http://tech.motion-twin.com"

Nicolas,

  Any chance you could change ocamake to exit with a non-zero status
  when it fails to build something?  In the "failed to build
  dependencies" mode, for me at least, it exits with zero status.

Funny , I actually added this yesterday in my local version.
I'll update the online version asap.
