I tried to use ocamlbuild several times and gave up because I > could not figure out how to do simple things. Is the problem really the lack of documentation or a problem to find it because it is not on the caml.inria.fr website? The wiki: http://brion.inria.fr/gallium/index.php/Ocamlbuild should answer all questions you have to compile simple projects. In fact, the user manual (first link on the wiki) should answer these questions. It would really help to improve the documentation if you could explain what were the problems you encountered and where did you look for the documentation. Please note that since the first OCaml meeting (last year), the wiki has changed quite a bit, so if you tried Ocamlbuild before, you might want to try it again. -- Romain Bardou
