However, there ARE some examples in the part which talks about
"flag", where we clearly see an usage (After_rules).
Which doesn't mean it cannot be used differently.
Anyway it seems useless arguing further: we just don't have the same
standards.
The only thing I see is that there are still a lot of mentions to
makefiles on this list and a lot of new projects don't use ocamlbuild
while ocamlbuild is clearly a superior alternative. The only way I can
explain this is by lack of good documentation. If you get the standard
distribution you don't get documentation for ocamlbuild (except a
brief manpage), there's no chapter on ocambuild in the manual, caml's
site documentation page doesn't even have a link to the small manual
or the wiki (you'll have to google to find it), the plugin api
documentation is not installed etc. etc.
It's a pitty, given its caml only implementation, ocamlbuild could
become a key part of a solid cross platform infrastructure for ocaml.
Alas it doesn't seem to be used much (and the reason is IMHO the sad
state of its documentation/advertising).
Best,
Daniel
