Include package batteries in makefile for Ocaml

I would like to use functions of module List of Ocaml Batteries. I have installed Batteries, and a trivial code from Getting started works with ocamlfind ocamlc -package batteries -linkpkg euler001.ml -o euler001.

Now coming back to my project, I have a makefile as follows:

CMO=sib_lexer.cmo sib_parser.cmo sib_pp.cmo lattices.cmo abstract_interpreter.cmo main.cmo
GENERATED = sib_lexer.ml sib_parser.ml sib_parser.mli
BIN=Simpler-Basic
FLAGS= -g -annot

all: $(BIN)
    export OCAMLRUNPARAM=b
    ./$(BIN) test.sib -a zone

$(BIN):$(CMO)
    ocamlc $(FLAGS) -o $(BIN) graphics.cma $(CMO)

.SUFFIXES: .mli .ml .cmi .cmo .mll .mly

.mli.cmi:
    ocamlc $(FLAGS) -c $<

.ml.cmo:
    ocamlc $(FLAGS) -c $<

.mll.ml:
    ocamllex $<

.mly.ml:
    menhir -v $<

.mly.mli:
    ocamlyacc -v $<

clean:
    rm -f *.cm[io] *.o *~ $(BIN) $(GENERATED) sib_parser.output

.depend depend:$(GENERATED)
    rm -f .depend #3
    ocamldep *.ml *.mli > .depend #4

include .depend

I tried to replace all ocamlc $(FLAGS) with ocamlfind ocamlc -package batteries -linkpkg $(FLAGS), but it did not work...

Could anyone tell me how to modify the makefile so that it complies with batteries?

What do you mean exactly by "did not work"? Did you get an error message? - Stéphane Glondu
You will not get any useful answer unless some telepaths pop up or you provide exact commands that you run and error message you get (didn't work is not an error message). Also minimize your problem until it disappears or can be repeated in reasonable amount of code. - ygrek
Good questions are phrased in the form "This is what I did, this is what happened, this is what I expected", with clean and complete descriptions of each. You are missing the "This is what happened" part. - Victor Nicollet

Changing the compilation command is not enough. You need to add e.g. open Batteries_uni at the beginning of the files where you want to use Batteries' List.
