axiles / ocaml-efl Goto Github PK

The C stubs currently take quite a bit of time to build and actually dominate the build. Ocamlbuild can also build them in parallel. However "make -jX" will not invoke ocamlbuild with "-j X", preventing the parallel builds.

The simplest way to have parallel builds is to invoke make with the 'OCAMLBUILD="ocamlbuild -j 4"' argument to override the value that has been detected by configure. Obviously this negates the usefulness of the configure check.

I have however no idea on how to implement that in a particularly clean way so maybe adding something in the documentation about the aforementioned argument would be the best solution for the time being.

1. If EFL 1.8 is need it is useful to add EFL1.8 installation howto

2. You README seems to be outdated. There is not test.ml in root any more. Also, why you don't generate configure by _oasis? without it it gives error about missing setup.data
3. After compilation I don't really understand how to build all examples. So, I wrote a script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
for x in `find examples -name "*.ml"`
do
  filename=$(basename $x)
  filename=${filename%.*}
  rm -f "./${filename%.*}.byte"
  ocamlbuild -use-ocamlfind "examples/$filename.byte" && ln -s _build/examples/$filename.byte
done

Hi,

I am just starting learning Ocaml so don't be too harsh. :)

I have installed ocaml-efl via opam and I wanted to try the different examples. So I have locally cloned you repos (I use ArchLinux x86-64) read the README, and tried this:

ocamlbuild -use-ocamlfind -pkg efl an_example.byte

or

 ocamlbuild -use-ocamlfind -pkg efl an_example.native

Both have failed. After that I have read the issue #1 that says that the examples are built when the user build the bindings.
In the INSTALL file it is said to launch the ./configure command but there is no configure file in the root directory.

Nevermind, I added one autoconf.sh just to see but even if I was able to generate a configure file, I was not able to build.

As I said previously I am just starting with Ocaml, but I really want to try your bindings.

Regards
