OCAML DOCUMENTATION

Prerequisites

  • Any prerequisites required to build OCaml from sources.

  • The Unix editor 'ed', no longer installed by default on some systems.

  • A LaTeX installation.

  • The HeVeA LaTeX-to-HTML convertor (available in OPAM): http://hevea.inria.fr/

Note that you must make sure hevea.sty is installed into TeX properly. Your package manager may not do this for you. Run kpsewhich hevea.sty to check.

Building

  1. Install the OCaml distribution.

  2. Run make in the manual.

NB: If you already set LD_LIBRARY_PATH (OS X: DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH) in your environment don't forget to add otherlibs/unix:otherlibs/str to it in an absolute way.
