This tutorial page is a very nice introduction to wrapping C libraries
for use in OCaml:
http://www.linux-nantes.org/~fmonnier/OCaml/ocaml-wrapping-c.php

Chapter 18 in the manual provides more detail if you need it:
http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/manual032.html

There are tools to aid in developing C library bindings, but depending
on the scope of your project it may be easier to just wrap the
functions you need by hand.  For larger libraries with relatively
simple interfaces, camlidl can be quite useful:

Have fun!
