how to get dev environment setup?
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Eff looks really cool, very excited to check it out. Trying to get it building locally on OSX by following the README, but running into an issue:
$ ./configure
E: Field 'findlib_version' is not set: Field 'ocamlfind' is not set
How do you set those variables? Google didn't give anything, though https://ocaml.org/docs/install.html#Debian shows:
apt-get install ocaml-findlib
Is it required to install findlib on the Mac? How did you get it working, are you running on Linux or a Mac?
I got ocaml setup with homebrew:
$ brew install ocaml
$ brew install opam
$ brew install menhir
$ ocaml -version
The OCaml toplevel, version 4.02.1
Any ideas?
Missing step was opam install batteries. So in total:
$ brew install ocaml
$ brew install opam
$ brew install menhir
$ opam install batteries
$ ./configure
This is strange: batteries was never a requirement. Maybe new OPAM doesn't install ocamlfind by default? Thank you for finding a temporary solution, but I guess I need to look into this.
Batteries is an overkill. I am prettu sure ocamlfind is not there by default on new opam.
