The preferred way is opam install ocaml-top (or opam pin add ocaml-top . from
the source directory). The following explains how to compile directly, and on
Windows.
Builds using jbuilder. You should just need to run make or jbuilder build
from the root of the project. You will need ocp-indent and ocp-index
installed too.
To build on Windows, you will need cygwin with mingw32, and the mingw ocaml
distribution (not cygwin !). See utils/mkwin.sh which may help you setup the
build environment (contains the URLs of required installers and packages, and
contains code to install the correct gtk distribution with sourceview and
prerequisite, fix pkgconfig, and compile lablgtk with gtksourceview support).
You will also need ocp-indent and (for completion/doc) ocp-index, which
should be as simple as git clone, make -f Makefile.simple install.
ocaml-top is released under GPLv3. See the file LICENSE for more information.
It also includes icons from the KDE oxygen set, available under LGPLv3, and three modified files from GtkSourceView, available under LGPLv2.1 or later (see the headers in data/ for more detail).
