Mmm, Are you sure everyone agrees in linking gnome and glade in per
default ? I think last we discussed it we agreed not to do it. But then,
personnally i don't care, i don't use ocamlfind.

I have a package ready, which includes the following changes :

lablgtk (1.2.5-7+20021031) unstable; urgency=low

  * Rebuilt since /usr/bin/lablgtk was having problems with the more
    recent lablgl 0.99-1 package.
  * Changed META file to include now glade and gnome by default,
    courtesy of Stefano Zacchiroli. Also added a gtkgl predicate for
    linking lablgtkgl.
  * Added a little paragraph about Ocamlfind in the README file,
    thanks to Rémi Vanicat for this.

To note, the new META file is :

requires=""
version="1.2.5"
archive(byte)="lablgtk.cma lablgnome.cma lablglade.cma"
archive(byte,init)="lablgtk.cma lablgnome.cma lablglade.cma gtkInit.cmo"
archive(byte,gtkgl)="lablgtk.cma lablgnome.cma lablglade.cma lablgtkgl.cma"
archive(byte,init,gtkgl)="lablgtk.cma lablgnome.cma lablglade.cma lablgtkgl.cma gtkInit.cmo"
archive(native)="lablgtk.cmxa lablgnome.cmxa lablglade.cmxa"
archive(native,init)="lablgtk.cmxa lablgnome.cmxa lablglade.cmxa gtkInit.cmx"

archive(native,init,gtkgl)="lablgtk.cmxa lablgnome.cmxa lablglade.cmxa lablgtkgl.cmxa gtkInit.cmx"
linkopts=""
directory="+lablgtk"

Could you please review it.

   The xecutable must be linked with lablglade.cma.

+Ocamlfind suppor:

I removed the glade and gnome thingies, because of the new META file.

I will await your reaction and upload the package tomorrow.
