Hello Jerome.
There was a question about cameleon compilation on debian on the
caml-list today, about someone who is not able to build cameleon on a
unstable debian system. Here is what he says :
I followed the instructions in the INSTALL file, with "./configure
--include-dir /usr/lib/ocaml". It complained that "pa_zog.cma" not in
the search path. I cd to zoggy subdirectory and "make pa_zog.cma" to
resolve the problem. Other errors I don't know how to fix easily. They
include "Unbound value C.string" in "omom_gui_variables.ml", "Unbound
module Cam_plug" when compile "utils.ml".
Do you have any idea of what he is speaking about ?
Maybe we should advertize that people at least cross post such questions
here, altough these questions may more be upstream related, i don't
really know.
BTW, what is the status of the cameleon packages you are working on.
