Hello Clément. Your patch fixes compilation and looks definitely correct, but compatibility with OCaml 3.12 is apparently more difficult; at least on my machine our recursive mutex implementation from OCamlbricks misbehaves under 3.12 for some reason we didn't quite understand yet, which makes Marionnet hang very soon at startup.

I've applied your patch, together with some buildsystem changes of mine which are intended to be backwards-compatible, in new branches named "porting-to-ocaml-3.12", for both Marionnet and OCamlbricks; as soon as we get to fix the recursive mutex problem we will be able to merge back into trunk.

Thanks again,
