======================
The easiest way to use Sexplib syntax extension is via findlib.
To compile sources which are using it invoke findlib passing "-syntax camlp4o"
and providing the "sexplib.syntax" package. For example:
/tmp$ cp /usr/share/doc/libsexplib-camlp4-dev/examples/conv_test.ml /tmp
/tmp$ ocamlfind ocamlc -linkpkg -package sexplib.syntax -syntax camlp4o -o conv_test conv_test.ml
Similarly, to try the syntax extension in the toplevel:
$ ledit ocaml
Objective Caml version 3.10.1
# #use "topfind";;
- : unit = ()
Findlib has been successfully loaded. Additional directives:
<snip>
# #camlp4o;;
/usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.1/camlp4: added to search path
/usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.1/camlp4/camlp4o.cma: loaded
Camlp4 Parsing version 3.10.1
# #require "sexplib.syntax";;
<snip>
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/3.10.1/type-conv/pa_type_conv.cmo: loaded
/usr/lib/ocaml/3.10.1/sexplib/pa_sexp_conv.cmo: loaded
# type foo = Foo with sexp;;
type foo = Foo
val foo_of_sexp__ : Sexplib.Sexp.t -> foo = <fun>
val foo_of_sexp : Sexplib.Sexp.t -> foo = <fun>
val sexp_of_foo : foo -> Sexplib.Sexp.t = <fun>
OCaml 3.10
==========
The only series of Sexplib supported in Debian is that for OCaml 3.10 or above,
and the matching new CamlP4. If you want a Sexplib for OCaml << 3.10 you will
need to compile it by yourself; old tarballs are available at
http://www.ocaml.info/home/ocaml_sources.html .
