Re: ocamlbuild -> toplevel

[Matthieu Dubuget <matthieu.dubuget@gmail.com>]

I replied off-list to Nicolas (by mistake) in order to insist, because
my question was not clear enough.

After some more readings, I would say that my goal was to generate a
custom toplevel by linking an
"internal" library ("internal" is the term used on ocamlbuild wiki for
libraries built by ocamlbuild).

This solution did not the job. From the documentation, it is not clear
to me what "use_lib" does exactly.
But I think it adds pilot.cm(x)a when linking my.cmo?

In my case, there are simply no my.cmo... I could have use the standard
toplevel and loaded pilot.cma.
Anyway, I found a solution:

I added: ocaml_lib "pilot" in my ocamlbuild.ml and I tagged my.top with
use_pilot in the _tags file.

And since I have no module to include in my toplevel, I generated a void
my.mltop file.

Salutations

P.S. During the process, I also used a copy of the myocamlbuild I found
on the wiki to use ocamlfind.
       I had to add one line for the ocamlmktop command :
Options.ocamlmktop := ocamlfind & A"ocamlmktop"
