[Caml-list] Telling OCamlbuild via _tags that a file has no dependencies

[Caml-list] Telling OCamlbuild via _tags that a file has no dependencies

[Dario Teixeira]

Hi,

(I was tipped off off-list that my previous emails on this subject
may have been eaten by an over-zealous spam-filter.  Hopefully a
change of domain will take care of that problem).

To summarise, I'm trying to use 4.02's newfangled no-alias-deps on
a project whose build system is generated via OASIS.  Problem is,
OASIS uses OCamlbuild, which relies on OCamldep, which is oblivious
to no-alias-deps.  Nevertheless, for this particular use case one
could get around OCamldep's limitations simply by telling OCamlbuild
that a given file has *no* dependencies, and therefore that it should
not invoke OCamldep for it.

I know that OCamlbuild's API includes a non_dependency function.  
However,
to make integration with OASIS easier, it would be useful if one could
also express the non dependency using only _tags.  Is this at all 
possible
somehow?  Or can someone think of an alternative method of achieving the
same goal?

Thanks in advance for your attention!
Best regards,
Dario Teixeira
