@ Malo

Sorry, we missed this bug. Is it stil valid in current cauldron?

cc'ing maintainer

CC: (none) => blue_prawn, marja11

I think it's still there. I don't know the reason why it fails though. Florent?

This was not a bug of the mageia package but an upstream bug.

Nevertheless I have fixed it (and sent the patch upstream and to debian).

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Thanks a lot Florent!

Actually I now get the error:

Error: Error on dynamically loaded library: /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllsdlgfxstub.so: /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs/dllsdlgfxstub.so: undefined symbol: caml_ba_alloc

Thanks.

Status: RESOLVED => REOPENED

This is not the same bug at all, you should maybe not reopen the previous one which is fixed, but another bug report.

This message error is the usual one when one compiles something and forgot to add bigarray.cma or .cmxa on the compilation command line. And indeed when I do so I don't get this error message.

Now using findlib, findlib should add this dependency.
If I replace the previous command line by this one:
ocamlfind ocamlc -o test -thread -package sdl,sdl.sdlgfx -linkpkg -g test.ml
I don't have any error anymore.

So it is maybe an error that should be fixed in the META file, though I don't see any error there because the section package "sdlgfx" contains requires="sdl" and the main sdl section contains requires="bigarray". I have even tried to add it explicitly to the sdlgfx section like this:
-  require = "sdl"
+  require = "sdl bigarray"
But I still get the same error message.


If I add the parameter -verbose to the ocamlfind command, we can check that indeed bigarray.cma is provided as it should with sdl, but not with only sdlgfx (and I really don't know why):


$ ocamlfind ocamlc -verbose -o test -thread -package sdl,sdl.sdlgfx -linkpkg -g test.ml

ocamlc.opt returned with exit code 2



So with my knowledge of the META files there is nothing more I can do.
Anyway who will use sdlgfx without the main sdl package? probably noone, so even if we don't fix this dependency problem I think we can close this second report too.

Moreover, just like the first bug report, this bug is an upstream bug too, because the META file was not added by us.

It was just a typo in the META file (so indeed an upstream bug):

-  require = "sdl"
+  requires = "sdl"

great :-). Thanks.
