00:28 <mellum> Can anybody recommend a tool for generating wrappers to C functions to call from Ocaml?

00:42 <pattern> http://caml.inria.fr/humps/caml_Interfaces_with_other_languages.html

00:43 <pattern> SWIG is a popular one

00:43 <pattern> forklift very looked interesting also... but i've never tried either

00:44 <Riastradh> Is it really that hard to manually implement a couple stubs?

00:45 <pattern> i haven't tried that either

00:45 <pattern> far too advanced for me... some day, though

00:51 cjohnson has quit [Remote closed the connection]

00:53 <mellum> Riastradh: not hard, but error-prone

00:53 <Riastradh> Anything you do in C is highly error-prone.

00:53 <Riastradh> What makes an automatic stub generator less error-prone?

00:53 <mellum> Less likely to confuse the GC

00:54 <mellum> anyway, I'm going to bed now, see you...

14:17 <Demitar> Anyone got a clue? This makes no sense to me.

14:17 <Demitar> ocamlfind ocamlopt -package "unix" -a -linkpkg meta.cmx -o meta.cmxa

14:17 <Demitar> /usr/lib/ocaml/3.07/unix.cmxa is not a compilation unit description.

15:10 <Demitar> Seems like ocamlfind doesn't work as it should more than anything else though...

15:10 <Demitar> But it's probably due to the external C file.

23:41 <Smerdyakov> Aw geez. I can't figure out how to use the num library.

23:42 carm has joined #ocaml

23:42 <Smerdyakov> Oh. It's called "nums", not "num".

23:43 <carm> Smerdyakov, are you referring to the module known as num in the ocaml manual?

23:45 pattern has quit [Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)]

23:48 <Smerdyakov> Yes

23:50 <carm> I cant seem to reference it at all

23:50 <carm> could u give me an example of accessing a nums library function?

23:53 <Smerdyakov> #load "nums.cma";;

23:53 <Smerdyakov> open Num;;

23:55 <carm> ok

23:55 <carm> thanks

23:55 <carm> that explains alot.

23:56 <carm> I always tried #load "num.cma" instead'

23:57 <carm> sweet, thanks again.
