I'm thinking about something like: I hadn't fully thought about it, but you're right that I should use it at compile and link time, tool. > CAML_PACKAGES = unix pcre > > Surely you can do the same using yours CAML_LDADD in conjunction with > "ocamlfind query", but it will be harder to use and less intuitive. _PACKAGES sounds good. I'll add it on a per-makefile and per-target basis. > It shouldn't be a major change, should it? No, and you're making me think I should just tackle the install stuff, too and get it over with. I do want to make things work without ocamlfind, too, though. > Thanks for your work > from an ocaml user that > has fought a lot with > automake in the past :-( Yes, so many times I want to abandon the autotools for their messiness, but they always turn out to be _so_ convenient. I have yet to see a make replacement that is as flexible.
