Thanks a lot, this worked and I was able to build it.

I also tried this but it did not work, but it's okay as creating a  
symbolic link to the headers did work.

OK. If targeting 10.4, would this also run on 10.5?

OK, the only issue is that the caml code is not compiled universally.  
So to build a UB I need to compile it on several machines.

Thank you for the suggestions.

My question was: why does calling xcodebuild with the variable  
OCAMLLIBDIR set work? It must be configured somewhere in the project  
(to add this variable to the list of header paths) but searching  
yielded nothing.

In any way, I'm now able to launch unison from XCode, so I should be  
able to debug things better.

Thanks again,

Alan
