For now these were just installed as .cmo .cmx .cmxs. Now it seems oasis forces me to create a .mllib even if I have only one module. Is that correct ? Note that in general it is better to install a cma/cmxa, even if your library has only one module. The reason is that when building an executable, cmo/cmx files passed on the command line are always linked, while unused units of cma/cmxa files are not (unless you specify -linkall). -- Jérémie -- Caml-list mailing list.

Just one refinement: if you also install the cmx _in addition to_ the cmxa, you enable cross-module inlining for this particular module. This is completely optional. I usually do it only when I think it makes sense. (Cannot comment on how this is handled in oasis.)

Okay, but is there a reasonable case (beyond sloppy dependency tracking) where you'd like to link against a *single module* library while not wanting to use it ? Daniel -- Caml-list mailing list.

I'll go with the cma then. Thanks, Daniel -- Caml-list mailing list.

Moreover, in case of bindings, cma/cmxa can contain flags for the linker so that the end user doesn't have to specify them. Cheers, -- Stéphane -- Caml-list mailing list.
