[Caml-list] creating multiple executables with OcamlMakefile

[Caml-list] creating multiple executables with OcamlMakefile

[Jeremy Fincher]

I have a body of code from which I'd like to compile several executables.
What's the best way to do this with the OcamlMakefile?

Thanks,
Jeremy

It's not particularly well-suited for this purpose. The best (or at
least cleanest) solution probably is to have a separate Makefile for each
target kind and to use "make -f" to specify the needed one. On the command
line this can be handled elegantly with shell aliases, in Makefiles or
scripts it does not really hurt to write out the name anyway. You can
also try the "meta rule"-approach as in the "threads"-example in the
OcamlMakefile-distribution, but it's really a bit messy to specify two
projects (or target kinds) in one file.
