Here's the issue: using the -I +... syntax while ocamlfind should be used. Of course, that requires cryptokit to have been installed through ocamlfind (which I believe yours has). > # this dies > $ /home/martin/opt/godi/bin/ocamlopt.opt -I +qmltop -I ../libtools -I > ../libsecurity -I ../libqmlcompil -I ../libnet -I ../libbsl -I > ../libbase -I ../database -I +cryptokit -I ../appruntime -I > +site-lib/cryptokit -I /lib/opa/static -c cryptoMLRuntime.ml > File "plugins/crypto/bslCrypto.ml", line 27, characters 2-28: > Error: Unbound module Cryptokit > > # this works > $ /home/martin/opt/godi/bin/ocamlopt.opt -I +qmltop -I ../libtools -I > ../libsecurity -I ../libqmlcompil -I ../libnet -I ../libbsl -I > ../libbase -I ../database -I +cryptokit -I ../appruntime -I > /home/martin/opt/godi/lib/ocaml/site-lib/cryptokit -I /lib/opa/static > -c cryptoMLRuntime.ml > > Is something wrong with my installation? It's a pretty standard godi > install. Nothing is wrong with it. As far as I remember, the "-I +..." syntax is relative to the location of the compiler. On my godi install, I get: % ocamlc -where /opt/ocaml/lib/ocaml/std-lib As you can see, "std-lib" <> "site-lib" (and same for "pkg-lib"). By the way, if I'm not mistaken, on godi, std-lib is for the base ocaml, pkg-lib is for what has been installed through godi and site-lib is for user-installed packages (and godi has a cryptokit package ;-) ). The right way to do it is to compile with ocamlfind which will always know the right location. % ocamlfind query cryptokit /opt/ocaml/lib/ocaml/pkg-lib/cryptokit % ocamlfind ocamlopt -package cryptokit -c ... Some more reasons to use ocamlfind are: - -I +... is brittle and too annoying to change - maybe cross-compilation (it's easy to set which compiler to use with environment variables) - ocamlfind ocamlc -package lablgtk2,lablgtk2.glade,lablwebkit,cryptokit is definitely much more readable than the equivalent with -I + - almost everything is using ocamlfind - (linux) distributions add ocamlfind support anyway - oasis uses - it works, even on windows - it nicely solves a nightmare I wish all ocaml libraries installed with ocamlfind and I wish all ocaml code compiled with ocamlfind. -- Adrien Nader -- Caml-list mailing list.
