YaM

by Damien Pous

Another build system for OCaml...

The idea is to write a Makefile.ml, using the YaM helper module, and to compile it to get a project specific make.

Pros :

• Makefile written in OCaml
• really fine dependency analysis :
  • modification time,
  • file digest,
  • command digest,
  • dependency checking against .cmi files instead of .cmo files,
• mixed bytecode/native mode support (distinct status informations).
• support for "Packages" (ocamlc -pack)
• fine compilation flags tuning
• just depends on a standard OCaml installation

Contras :

• no support (yet) for :
  • CamlIDL
  • OCamlReport
  • Zoggy
• not as generic as Make, OCamlMakefile, OCamake.

Here are the files :

• Package with documentation and dummy example (.tar.bz2)
• Package with documentation and dummy example (.zip)
• README
• OCaml generated documentation
• a dummy Makefile.ml (for the dummy example)
• a real-life Makefile.ml
