[Caml-list] oasis help: support for qtest in oasis

[Francois Berenger]

Hello,

Is there some way to plug qtest into
an oasis-managed project?

My current problem is that qtest
generates the main.ml (for example) file to run the tests
and I don't want to add this file under VC
so oasis should allow me to run a command
to create this file before it is compiled.

In fact I am open to any feedback from someone
who already dealt with this kind of use-case.

Thanks,
F.

I don't know how qtest works, but I would say, that you should use
PreBuildCommand
http://oasis.forge.ocamlcore.org/MANUAL.html#package
This is a toplevel field and you can surround it with conditional:

if flag(tests)
  PreBuildCommand: foo-bar --output main.ml

Is this what you want ?

Sylvain

It looks perfect, just by looking at its name.
I'll give it a try.

Thanks a lot,

[Caml-list] oasis and foreign code

[Chet Murthy]

A while back, I had a problem with oasis, where I wanted to put an
oasis file in a subdirectory of some larger project, and wanted it to
be able to access files on a neighboring directory.

In that case, the project was "tutorial", the subdirectory was
"tutorial/ocaml", and the neighboring directory was
"tutorial/gen-ocaml".

It was suggested that if the oasis file were moved up one directory,
things would be much simpler.  Which is true.

But now, there's a different problem.  Suppose I move that file up.
Now there are -other- subdirectories, containing code related to the
project, that aren't for ocaml consumption.  And when I do make,
ocamlbuild complains:

SANITIZE: a total of 4 files that should probably not be in your source tree
  has been found. A script shell file
  "....../sanitize.sh" is being
  created. Check this script and run it to remove unwanted files or use other
  options (such as defining hygiene exceptions or using the -no-hygiene
  option).
IMPORTANT: I cannot work with leftover compiled files.
ERROR: Leftover object files:
  File pedion_types.o in gen-cpp has suffix .o
  File Pedion.o in gen-cpp has suffix .o
  File pedion_constants.o in gen-cpp has suffix .o
ERROR: Leftover object files:
  File PedionServer.o in pedion has suffix .o

Is there a way to tell oasis to ignore certain subdirectories (and
hence, to have it generate myocamlbuild files that ignore those
directories)?

I looked at the ocamlbuild tags documentation, and nothing stands out
as being suitable.

Thanks,

-traverse and not_hygienic, see for example the rule for .svn in _tags:
<**/.svn>: -traverse
<**/.svn>: not_hygienic
