Bug#568556: missing ocaml bindings

[Sylvain Le Gall]

Package: llvm-dev
Version: 2.6-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


Hello,

You can find a patch to create a package libllvm-ocaml-dev that contains
the OCaml bindings as shipped by LLVM.

I have added all the required glue to match the current OCaml packaging
policy, including the use of dh_ocaml -- which helps to compute OCaml
dependencies. I have also written a little META file to ease OCaml
integration.

The only "weird" fix is that llvm uses strange symlinks pointing to the
$DESTDIR. I have fixed them but this is the weak part of the patch. I
think this is something to discuss with upstream.

I have built it without optimized compiler and in a pbuilder. Everything
seems fine (well the pbuilder had problem with logwatch, but this is
another topic).

I hope you will be able to use it for the next upload. I am willing to
support all things related to OCaml in LLVM, just drop me an email if
you want.

Regards
Sylvain Le Gall
