RE: FW: [Xen-devel] using OCAML xenstored



Alex,

Thanks for your tip. Do you think just applying the patch to fix the
install path to the Makefile will fix it or will I need the other 6
patches as well (which seem quite extensive)? I am just wondering if there
was another intended way (by the maintainers) to install the OCAML version
of xenstored side-by-side with the C- version and have the option to use
either one....

Thanks
Yuvraj

Some time ago I sent some patches against xen-ocaml-tools.hg to make it
work as
replacement for the C xenstored in xen-unstable.hg.  One of the patches
was to
fix this install path issue:

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-04/msg00697.html

I don't think these patches were applied. (I don't know if there is a
reason for
this.)  It might be worth checking out the whole patch queue if you are
intending to use it with xen-unstable.hg.

Regards,

Alex
