Hi all, So I mostly switched from Oasis to Topkg. Which means that I had to stare at the raw OCamlbuild for what it is, far longer than I intended. And this got me increasingly tired of all the shenanigans one has to play, to get even the regular stubs to build nicely, let alone to do a Mirage lib.
After a couple of false starts, I made a little OCamlbuild plugin [1] to do the right thing. It contains the incantations for linking archives to stubs, usable anywhere, it adds pkg-config support, and it can build Mirage projects hands-free [2]. I tested it by deleting a bunch of myocamlbuild code from a bunch of random projects, and adjusting their _tags. Surprisingly, the ruse seems to work. Stuff like static Ctypes support is on the table, but as future work. I'd like to get this out of the door. Last-minute feedback is welcome.
