Re: OCamlBuild question

[David Teller <David.Teller@univ-orleans.fr>]

Merci, avec ces explications, je suis enfin arrivé à faire fonctionner
[build]. Maintenant, reste un problème tout bête : j'arrive à écrire le
contenu de mon .mli dans _build mais pour des raisons qui m'échappent,
celui-ci est effacé avant la fin de la compilation. J'ai essayé de
l'ouvrir avec [open_out] et avec [with_output_file], avec le même
résultat. C'est assez frustrant. Des idées ?

Merci,
 David
