[Caml-list] oasis and thrift

[Joel Reymont]

I have Thrift files like foo.thrift and need to run 'thrift -gen ocaml -o <output dir> foo.thrift' which will produce foo.ml and some other files in the output directory. 

How do I integrate this into Oasis?

	Thanks, Joel

P.S. Oasis is awesome!

The best you can do is to integrate this into the generated
myocamlbuild.ml. As far as you write something outside the
OASIS_START/STOP section, it will be kept after regeneration of the
matching file.

See how ocamlify is integrated with myocamlbuild.ml here:
http://darcs.ocamlcore.org/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=oasis/oasis;a=headblob;f=/myocamlbuild.ml
line 87 to 112

To trigger the generation, you'll have to depend in a way to foo.ml
(e.g. if it is a library Modules: Foo or InternalModules: Foo)
