I had to add this to the end of the _tags file for oasis to build my project: true: camlp4r

It'd be nice if I could specify this in _oasis, like: 'BuildDepends: camlp4r' (I see there is syntax_camlp4r, but it doesn't do what I want). It'd be even better if this can be customized on a per source-file or directory basis.

camlp4r is an executable in fact.

I think you should use BuildTools: camlp4r

If it works for you, you can close this bug.

BuildTools only seems to check for availibility of the tool, it doesn't actually use it while building.

Attached a small testcase, when I run it I get this: $ oasis setup ... $ ./configure ... $ make ocaml setup.ml -build I: Running command '/usr/bin/ocamlbuild revised.byte -tag debug' Finished, 0 targets (0 cached) in 00:00:00.

• ocamlfind ocamlc -c -g -o revised.cmo revised.ml File "revised.ml", line 1, characters 0-5: Error: Unbound value value Command exited with code 2. Compilation unsuccessful after building 2 targets (1 cached) in 00:00:00. E: Command '/usr/bin/ocamlbuild revised.byte -tag debug' terminated with error code 10 make: *** [build] Error 1

If I add <*.ml>: camlp4r to the _tags file it works.

I plan to have support in 0.3.0 for syntax extension.

See [#773] and [#574].
