Motivation for this change
#34931: it is not convenient to use
utop
, as dynamically linked shared libraries cannot be found.These libraries are searched in the directories listed in the
CAML_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable (see https://github.com/diml/utop#common-error for details).This PR adds a setup-hook to the
utop
derivation; this hook automatically populates theCAML_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable. Thus, in a shell withutop
,findlib
and some OCaml libraries with DLLs, that variable will be appropriately set, and dynamic loading (aka#require "…";;
) will work.Things done
