A directory tree with the three Makefiles is here:

http://www.rftp.com/caml/

LablPCRE/Makefile
	Already released POSIX-oriented wrapper for PCRE.
LablScintilla/Makefile
	Larger wrapper giving complete access to Scintilla editing
	component with OCaml and LablGTK.
RCaml/Makefile
	Much simpler Makefile than the first two, as it is just an app
	rather than a medium-to-large library, and is all OCaml (no C)
	- note that this is dependent on the first two packages.

All I am looking for are the names for the typical compile, link, and 
lib util commands in the *nix world (presumably GNU stuff), and the 
"usual" switch values (and the correct names of the NON-Windows libs 
in both the bytecode and native cases).

Any help with the compiling and linking of mixed OCaml/C (in the case 
of the two library wrappers) and OCaml plus GTK libs in the app case 
would be appreciated.
