I found a workaround in lwt, which is to add some code in myocamlbuild.ml,
outside the generated part, to define appropriate tags that can then be
used in _tags (more generally, lwt has several interesting tricks about
oasis). For the record, here is how you can use a syntax extension
internally, inside a package:
open Ocamlbuild_plugin
let () =
dispatch
(fun hook ->
dispatch_default hook;
match hook with
| Before_options ->
Options.make_links := false
| After_rules ->
(* Internal syntax extension *)
List.iter
(fun base ->
let tag = "pa_" ^ base and file = "src/syntax/pa_" ^ base
^ ".cmo" in
flag ["ocaml"; "compile"; tag] & S[A"-ppopt"; A file];
flag ["ocaml"; "ocamldep"; tag] & S[A"-ppopt"; A file];
flag ["ocaml"; "doc"; tag] & S[A"-ppopt"; A file];
dep ["ocaml"; "ocamldep"; tag] [file])
["syntax_ext1";"syntax_ext2"]; (* add your syntax extensions
here *)
| _ ->
())
