ocamlbuild adding directories arguments to a tool with tags

ocamlbuild adding directories arguments to a tool with tags

[Daniel Bünzli]

Hello,

I would like to be able to specify

<d> : mytool:include

So that when mytool is invoked it is invoked for example with

mytool -dir d

is there any easy way to achieve that with a plugin ?

Best,

Daniel

An alternate way of doing that is to tag the .ext files the tools act
upon with :

<**/.*ext> : dir(d)

And have the following pflag rule :

pflag ["mytool"] "dir" (fun d -> S [ A "-dir"; P d])

Of course the rules that invoke mytool should add the tag "mytool" to
the command tags.
