Bug Description

Ubuntu Dapper, libcamomile-ocaml-dev 0.6.3-3:

Compiling the following fragment of code succeeds with ocamlc, but
fails with ocamlopt:

(* (try to) compile with: ocamlfind ocamlopt -linkpkg -package
   camomile camomileBug.ml *)
let _ =
  let module E = Camomile.CharEncoding in
    E.recode_string E.utf8 E.utf8 ""

This produces the linker errors (list truncated for brevity):
/usr/lib/ocaml/3.09.1/camomile/camomile.a(camomile.o): In function `camlCamomile__entry': undefined reference to `camlBitsvect'
/usr/lib/ocaml/3.09.1/camomile/camomile.a(camomile.o): In function `camlCamomile__entry': undefined reference to `camlBytesvect'

/usr/lib/ocaml/3.09.1/camomile/camomile.a(camomile.o): In function `camlCamomile__entry': undefined reference to `camlUChar'
...

Apparently something related to building native libraries has been
done, because some patches related to that are used during the build
process, and also camomile.cmxa is produced. No dllcamomile.so,
though.

No idea, as I don't run bleeding edge Ubuntu :). However, I did
download the individual source package (plus patch) and compiled it
under Debian Unstable. I also needed to update the test case. The
revised test case is:

let _ =
  let module E = CamomileLibrary.Default.Camomile.CharEncoding in
    E.recode_string E.utf8 E.utf8 ""

Compiling the test case should work as earlier. I, however, used it
without installing it, so I just entered:

% ocamlopt bigarray.cmxa camomile.cmxa camomileBug.ml

in the package's directory after compiling the package. The
compilation (and linking) worked on my system without problems, so I
would expect it to work in Ubuntu also.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I am marking this bug as invalid since it's not been touched since last year and that it's reported against an old version of Ubuntu which only receives security updates.

Please feel free to reopen this bug should the problem re-occur.
