[Omake] Re: [Caml-list] Announcing OMake 0.9.8.3; pre-announcing OMake 0.9.9 with automated C library wrapping for OCaml

[Aleksey Nogin]

Alexis,

The denied write accesses that you are seeing are a result of OMake 
trying to check if those directories are on a case-insensitive 
filesystem. Attempting to create a tmp file is a last resort-thing that 
OMake does when there the directory contains no file/subdirectory with a 
letter in its name.

I will have to check why it's trying to look at /.omake directory (seems 
like a minor bug).

The reason it's looking at /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin, /usr/kde 
and /usr/qt is that they are in your PATH. Do they actually exist on 
your system? We can probably make sure that OMake aborts the case 
sensitivity testing earlier in case the directory does not exist.

Finally, /usr/lib64/omake is tested when OMake is about to look up its 
files in the system library location, except it does not make much sense 
for self-builds, so, again, it should probably be considered a minor bug 
that I will look into.
