Re: Removing Camlp4 dependency from OPAM package

Thank you, I just tried and there's a small patch that I had to make to =

src/Makefile:

+ ifneq ($(CAMLP4O),no)
.ml4.ml:
     $(CAMLP4O) -impl $< -o $@
+ endif

Otherwise, if the timestamp of some .ml4 file is more recent than it =

should be, that rule gets activated and results in:

# make -C src world
# make[1]: Entering directory '~/git/lablgtk/src'
# no -impl check_externals.ml4 -o check_externals.ml
# Makefile:196: recipe for target 'check_externals.ml' failed

What I actually did was to retrieve the "opam" file from the 2.18.3, =

patch it, use a local "opam pin add" pointing to my git clone, and then =

run "opam install lablgtk". I'm afraid there may be other configurations =

which will make it fail, but for me it works that way.

I can direct further requests to your Github repository, if you prefer.

Best regards,
