I asked around before settling on a build system since I'm new to
OCaml. I looked at OMake, OCamlMakefile and found them complex and
confusing. Then William Neuman pointed me to ocamlbuild and Nicolas
Pouillard helped me hook it up to external libraries via a plugin.
Deep into my first project I confirm that ocamlbuild is VERY nifty. I
can automatically rebuild when any parts of my project change and
then run my unit tests.
All I need to do is:
ocamlbuild test.byte --
*** my project ***
189 easy.mli
282 easy_lexer.mll
420 easy_parser.mly
17 myocamlbuild.ml
14 parser_util.ml
30 symtab.ml
8 test.ml
284 parser_test.ml
1355 total
*** test.ml ***
open OUnit
let suite = "Morpher" >:::
[Parser_test.suite]
let _ =
run_test_tt_main suite
*** myocamlbuild.ml ***
open Ocamlbuild_plugin;;
open Command;;
let packages = "ounit" (* "pkg1,pkg2,..." *);;
let ocamlfind cmd =
S[A"ocamlfind"; A cmd; A"-package"; A packages];;
flag ["ocaml"; "link"] (A"-linkpkg");;
dispatch begin function
| After_options ->
Options.ocamlc := ocamlfind "ocamlc";
Options.ocamlopt := ocamlfind "ocamlopt";
| _ -> ()
end

Excellent news. Make just can't hack it when things get non-trivial and I'm
bored of recompiling everything all the time, even if ocamlopt is a million
times faster than gcc. :-)
Here are my results (timings are old vs new) for my 2.2GHz AMD64x2:
OCaml itself still doesn't parallel build but serial builds in around 4mins.
Ray tracer builds fine: 3.963s vs 4.000s run time
n-th nearest neighbour example from OFS builds and runs fine: 8.142s vs 8.320s
Smoke builds fine and runs fine: 12.39s vs 11.56s build time, 68.5fps vs
72.5fps running speed
Presenta builds fine: 39.354s vs 39.524s
I've only had one problem and I'm not sure if that is due to the new version
of ocamlopt: Presenta screws up font rendering when using the experimental
stencil buffer code instead of the usual GLU tesselator code.
So my conclusion is that 3.10 looks fine. Compile times are slightly faster in
some cases. Running times are basically indifferent.

Well, it should have been equally easy to use OMake in this case - while
it is true that OMake is complex, the complexity is only there to help
you out when you need it; you can safely ignore it until then.
If I understand what you are doing here correctly, it would have been
sufficient to just use the following OMakefile:
---------
# Optional - use bytecode compilation even when ocamlopt is available
NATIVE_ENABLED = false
BYTE_ENABLED = true
USE_OCAMLFIND = true
OCAMLPACKS[] = ounit
.DEFAULT: $(OCamlProgram test, test easy easy_lexer easy_parser
parser_util symtab parser_test)
-------
and then simply running "omake" would do what you want.

Aleksey,
I'm trying to build my project as you suggested but I get this error
*** omake error:
File /usr/local/lib/omake/build/OCaml.om: line 1027, characters 8-53
Do not know how to build "easy.cmo" required for "test.run"
I only have easy.mli and no easy.ml, should I exclude easy from the
build list below?
Thanks, Joel

Joel,
I think this was already brought up on the Caml list - it is the basic
OCaml assumption, I believe, that you should not have an .mli without
.ml. OMake makes the same assumption. If you do need the Easy module,
you should have easy.ml. If your easy.mli only defines new types and/or
signatures, you should be able to simply rename easy.mli into easy.ml.
Hope this helps.
Aleksey

Yes, that's nice.
I waited for this function for a longer time; is good for a lot of things.
For I tool I just write, it would be good to have this function
available. :)
When will OCaml 3.10 be available as a well tested, stable release?
Ciao,
Oliver

Just write a .mllib file with the contents of your library.
$ cat foo.mllib
Bar
Baz
$ ocamlbuild foo.cma foo.cmxa
If you have a main module (Foo) and want a library from it, it will
make a library with the sorted transitive closure from Foo.
$ ocamlbuild foo.cma foo.cmxa

Hi,
I've downloaded and succesfuly compiled and installed 3.10 (on Intel
MacBook Pro). Ocamlbuild is a great tool!
I only wonder how I can build a cmxa file from several ml files.
Should I define a custom target or something like that?

Yes, but once you understand the changes, it's much easier to use.

Rewrite them. See http://gallium.inria.fr/~pouillar/camlp4-changes.html
for the common pitfalls, it helps a lot in moving from old to new
camlp4.
I guess Nicolas Pouillard will give you more details.

When Camlp4 is used as a library yes. The API is completly different.

Has this broken a lot of stuff?? e.g. ocamlgsl has a camlp4 extension inside
it and will not compile under 3.10 ('Unbound value Quotation.add'). what are

Dr. Leroy:
First, my deepest thanks to you and your colleagues for your
excellent, hard work on the Objective Caml system and its related
tools. I'm simultaneously learning a tremendous amount from
programming in O'Caml and having great fun doing so.
I'm curious as to whether there's any chance of having (some variant
of) the attached patch applied to the O'Caml 3.10.0 codebase. The
attached patch was provided to me by Alon Kama, maintainer of the
Ensemble process group communication system, in support of enabling
Ensemble 2.01 to work correctly on Mac OS X. As you know, Mac OS X is
a BSD-derived platform, hence makes the distinction between
SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT in socket options related socket
rebinding--a distinction that affects much server-oriented socket
code. So this patch should benefit any BSD-derived platform, not only
Mac OS X. Having said that, I cannot honestly say that I fully
understand what changes, particularly conditionalization, might be
necessary to ensure its proper use on all supported O'Caml platforms;
nor, of course, can I say whether making that determination with your
available staff, hardware, OS, and time resources is realistic at
all, let alone in the time remaining to deliver O'Caml 3.10.0. So I
appreciate your forbearance.
Many thanks and best regards,
Paul Snively

Yep that's due to copying into the build directory.

I've noticed that standard compilation (make world.opt) uses 333 Mb of
hard disk, while ./build/fastworld.sh uses much more: 443 Mb
anyhow both work :)

Switching from one mode to another require this:
$ make clean
$ ./build/distclean.sh
Then running configure is required.

so make clean and then "./build/fastworld.sh" gives this error:
