Well, it seems that I have a much simpler problem (and it is not related to camlp4of specifically): the only thing I'm missing is a '-syntax camlp4o' when compiling the library. Indeed, adding:

<src/syntax/*>: syntax_camlp4o

at the end of _tags fixes the problem. I must have forgotten an option in the _oasis file, but I can't see which. Anyway, many thanks William !

Hi

I let Sylvain detailing how things should be done properly but as a
quick hack you can add at the bottom of the _tags file <src/*.ml{,i}>:
syntax_camlp4of , it should do the trick (and it won't be erased by
oasis setup if you put it after the #OASIS_END line.

Hope it helps

William
