Pairing ocamlbuild with ocamlfind

Pairing ocamlbuild with ocamlfind

[Joel Reymont]

What is the easiest way to pair ocamlbuild with ocamlfind to install  
a library?

ocamlfind needs to be involved with the library name which ocamlbuild  
doesn't know and all the built files that ocamlbuild does now about.

	Thanks, Joel

You can change the ocamlc to use ocamlfind command with -ocamlc
"ocamlfind ocamlc" and then inject flags like -package ... with
classical ocamlbuild flag declarations.

I apologize if I wasn't being clear. I'm trying to use ocamlfind with  
ocamlbuild to install a library.

Hum, it seems that you just need to add some rules.

There is a plugin example:

ocamlbuild takes a target so I think I would need a fake "install"  
target, right?

This target should depend on the META file and on the library being  
built, right?

How do I create such a target and how do I refer to the library being  
built?

	Thanks, Joel

Phony targets are not so well integrated. Starts by creating an install file.

rule "install"
  ~prod:"install"
  ~deps:["META"; "foolib.cma"]
  begin fun _ _ -> ....
  end

Something like that.
