Subject: Re: [Caml-list] How to monitor a specific file for changes

Message-ID: <ff170bdf0710221211q7daa44bcy2e5ab0fa22a92ff5@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

The OMake build system (omake.metaprl.org) is written in OCaml and has
support for monitoring the file system for changes (at least on Win32
and Linux). You might take a look at the source code for that system
and see what they use.
