0004304: ocamlbuild -I does not add directories to the compiler search paths.

It also seems to be impossible to pass a -I argument (or any other argument btw) to ocamldoc via an ocamlbuild invocation which makes it unusable to produce documentation that depends on external libraries.

The command
ocamlbuild -tag thread -lib unix test.native
should do the job

Thanks for the report. This is now fixed in the CVS (both in trunk and release310 branch).

The fix doesn't seem to work on ocamlbuild 3.11.0+beta1. Tried the same example, note that this is not for using threads. The example is just for you to reproduce.

Best,

Daniel

In fact -I seems to work only with directories that are in the hierarchy starting at the root of the ocamlbuild's current working directory. Is that a feature ?

I my case I would really like to be able to invoke

ocamlbuild -I +sdl -lib sdl

instead of

ocamlbuild -cflags -I,+sdl -lflags -I,+sdl -lib sdl

That is indeed a feature, at least an initial design choice that -I directories are all managed by ocamlbuild.

This is not a definitive status, though.
