OMake is a build system, similar to GNU make, but with many additional features: o Support for large projects spanning several directories or directory hierarchies. o Comes with a default configuration file providing support for OCaml, C and LaTeX projects, or a mixture thereof. Often, a configuration file is as simple as a single line OCamlProgram(prog, foo bar baz) which states that the program "prog" is built from the files foo.ml, bar.ml, and baz.ml. o Fast, reliable, automated dependency analysis using MD5 digests. o Portability: omake provides a uniform interface on Win32 and on Unix systems including Linux and Mac OS X. o Builtin functions that provide the most common features of programs like grep, sed, and awk. These are especially useful on Win32. o Full native support for rules that build several things at once (such as ocamlopt building .cmx and .o). o Active filesystem monitoring, where the build automatically restarts whenever you modify a source file. This can be very useful during the edit/compile cycle. o A companion command interpreter, osh, that can be used interactively. The home site for OMake is http://omake.metaprl.org/ OMake version 0.9.4 contains a large number of enhancements and bug fixes, including: - Portability improvements. OMake should now compile and work under Windows 2000, Windows NT and FreeBSD. A number of Windows-specific bugs are fixed. A Windows installer is added. - OMake now uses the built-in versions of the following commands: cp, mv, mkdir, rm, rmdir, chmod - Improvements to the filesystem watch functionality. In particular, the build will now restart if a change to one of the OMakefiles is detected. - Added a USE_OCAMLFIND variable that can be used to force or prohibit the usage of ocamlfind in a project (by default USE_OCAMLFIND is set to true iff the ocamlfind executable is found in path). - Added a "--force-dotomake" option to create all .omc and .omo files under $HOME/.omake/cache and a "--dotomake" option to specify an alternative to $HOME/.omake - Added :squash: dependencies (that specify that a dependency must be built, but when the dependency changes, it does not cause the target to be rebuilt). - OMake will now read ~/.omakeinit and ~/.omakerc files on startup. - Improved the latex-related rules. - Documentation improvements. - Bugs fixed: 142, 153, 311, 313, 314, 316, 332, 333, 339, 350, 360, 361, 366, 367, 368, 374, 375.

While we have made an effort to ensure that it is bug-free, it is possible some functions may not behave as you would expect.
