Simple ocamlbuild example for C stubs?

Simple ocamlbuild example for C stubs?

[Guillaume Yziquel]

Hello.

I'm trying to build a .cma with C stubs with ocamlbuild. Linking and 
includes are supposed to be set to non-standard directories.

Is there a state-of-the-art, and *simple* example lying around? Is there 
an ocamlbuild plugin that is more generic than the one on the Wiki

http://brion.inria.fr/gallium/index.php/Ocamlbuild_example_with_C_stubs

which I unfortunately find quite obscure.

All the best,

You probably need to add some 'A"-ccopt"; A"your-option"' to the good
tag. 

Can you give more details/actual layout of your myocamlbuild.ml ?

OK. Yes, I could meddle with my myocamlbuild.ml file. My myocamlbuild.ml 
file is the same as the one on the wiki:

http://brion.inria.fr/gallium/index.php/Using_ocamlfind_with_ocamlbuild

But I mean, if I'm supposed to write a myocamlbuild.ml for every project 
I make, I might as well use Makefiles, as below.

I was wondering if there was a myocamlbuild.ml that would solve the C 
stub problem and bottleneck. For instance, being able to _tag in the 
tags file for a given .c file the directories in which to look for 
headers (here /usr/share/R/include), and for .o files, all linking 
information (here, /usr/lib/R/lib/libR.so).

The ideal would be to have all that available only from _tags.

Because if you need to write a myocamlbuild.ml for each and every 
project, you might as well write Makefiles... That's the point of a 
generic plugin.
