Using internal libraries

From Gallium

Using internal libraries is almost the same thing that Using an external library.

+-+- A/
| +- a.mllib
| +- a1.ml
| +- ...
| +- aN.ml
|
+-+- B/
| +- b.mllib
| +- b1.ml
| +- ...
| +- bN.ml
|
+-+- Main/
  +- main.ml (depending on a.cma and b.cma)

The simplest thing to do is to let ocamlbuild build things without using libraries:

ocamlbuild -Is A,B Main/main.byte

But here your mllib's are not used.

If you want to use them as libraries you need a small myocamlbuild.ml like:

$ cat myocamlbuild.ml
open Ocamlbuild_plugin;;
dispatch begin function
| After_rules ->
    ocaml_lib "A/a";
    ocaml_lib "B/b"
| _ -> ()
end

And to tag your files:

$ cat _tags
# tells that main use a and b libs
<Main/main.{byte,native}>: use_a, use_b
# this will avoid the need of command line options to ocamlbuild
"A" or "B": include

Finally just run:

$ ocamlbuild Main/main.byte
