ocamldoc

[wintersteiger]

After installing the windows toolchain, the ocamldoc command for that toolchain is a Windows-binary at .../windows-sysroot/bin/ocamldoc.exe, which, when run via

ocamlfind -toolchain windows doc

throws

Fatal error: unknown C primitive `win_waitpid'

(On my WSL Ubuntu.) Since this is usually run on the host anyways, it's fine to use the host-compiled ocamldoc, but either way should really be fixed.

Known issue, not considered important enough to spend time on. Patches welcome, of course.

Good to know, thanks! Is the plan to keep Windows-binaries for all tools in windows-sysroot?

[whitequark]

In theory, it should be a host-runnable binary, i.e. the same as ocamlfind doc. I don't recall what was wrong to make it a Windows one, some build system plumbing not set up quite right, nothing major.
