[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Add a check script to check for the existence of an ocaml native compiler
The script doesn''t check anything if the $OS is not linux, and just print a warning if the compiler is missing.

I don''t understand the rationale behind only warning about missing
ocaml compilers on Linux.
Either there is nothing wrong with not having ocaml and using all the
C tools (specifically, C xenstore), in which case it arguably
shouldn''t produce a warning; or the future is supposedly ocaml and
then we should warn everywhere.
Of course the latter situation would imply that ocaml can in practice
be found on non-Linux dom0''s without too much pain. Is that true ?
Ian.

On system that can use it (just linux), we want to push people using it. -- Vincent _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
