I recently decided to organize the files in my project directory. I moved the parsers I had for a few different file types into their own directory and also decided to use ocamlbuild (the as the project was getting more complicated and the simple shell script was not sufficient any longer).
I was able to successfully include external projects by modifying myocamlbuild with some basic rules (calling ocaml_lib
, I'll use ocamlfind some other time), but I am stuck on how to include the folder as a module into the project properly. I created a parser.mlpack
file and filled it with the proper modules to be included (eg, "parser/Date", et cetera), wrote a parser.mli
in the root of the directory for their implementations, and modified the _tags
file (see below).
During the compilation, the parser directory is traversed properly, and parser.cmi
, parser.mli.depends
were both created in the _build
directory; as well as all *.cm[xio]
files in the parsers subdirectory.
I feel I might be doing something redundant, but regardless, the project still cannot find the Parser module when I compile!
Thanks!

You'll notice -I parser
is not included in the linking phase above; actually none of the parser related files are included!
