I've fixed examples/ocaml/Makefile.examples.in to correctly generate x??ocaml executables. This uncovered some other problems though. Firstly Makefile.examples does not use rpath and so the install tree examples are not guaranteed to be linked against the correct library versions. I've fixed this. I also noticed that it doesn't use pkg-config to get the cflag and libs for the build. After playing around with this I've been unable to get it to work correctly. The problem is that some of the ocamlc options (e.g. -I <dir>, -ccopt <opt) require spaces in them. If you don't quote the flags in plplotd-ocaml.pc then the two are treated as separate options and pkg-config rearranges the order. If you do quote them then the two are kept together but pkg-config removes the space, which ocamlc doesn't allow. I don't know how to work around this. Perhaps there is a way. For now the compile and link options are still set manually in Makefile.examples. I have not committed any changes to generate plplotd-ocaml. The current version does not work sensibly. Be warned! This may need a pkg-config guru to work out a fix. Anyway, with these changes I can now install, build and test the ocaml examples in the install tree.
