Summary

0005227: possibility to call ocamlbuild from a sub-directory

Description

I'm working on a multi-directory project for example :
+-+- A/
| +- a1.ml
| +- ...
| +- aN.ml
|
+-+- B/
| +- b1.ml
| +- ...
| +- bN.ml
|
+-+- Main/
+- main.ml (depending on a.cma and b.cma)

So far, the only way to compile my project is to call ocamlbuild from root directory.
While I'm editing b1.ml in directory B, I would like to compile it with the command "ocamlbuild b1.cmo". This is not possible so far : I have to go in root directory and type "ocamlbuild B/b1.ml".
My wish would be something like a "-root" option to specific from which parent directory ocamlbuild should be called.

Notes
(0005824) daweil (reporter) 2011-02-18 16:26	I tried to modify myself the source code by adding a -root-dir option in ocamlbuild/options.ml but I could find myself where to make the call to Sys.chdir (or Shell.chdir)...
