Known issues
============

GTK2 GUI (./configure --enable-gui=newgui2) builds only in specific configuration when lablgtk2 packages are installed in $(ocamlc -where)/lablgtk2
This happens to be true on Debian when building with packaged (system) ocaml :

sudo apt install ocaml camlp4 libnum-ocaml-dev liblablgtk2-gnome-ocaml-dev

It doesn't work with opam - this is the goal for the next release.

`./configure --enable-batch --enable-gui=newgui2` (ie download and build lablgtk2 locally) only works with old OCaml versions (unsafe-string)
because it is using very old lablgtk2. Upgrading to newer lablgtk2 is the goal for the next release
