Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Missing the cmi files required to use toplevellib.cma
Date: Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:07:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1254406067.12261.5.camel@flake.lan.gerd-stolpmann.de> (raw)

GODI installs the required cmi's. One can easily compile your utility
with
ocamlc -o cmidump -I /opt/godi-3.11/lib/ocaml/compiler-lib/
toplevellib.cma cmidump.ml
For docs.camlcity.org I converted all cmi's to a readable format by a
little script that does apply "ocamlc -i" on the program "include M"
where M is the module to print. That gives finally a nice view on all
information, like in
http://docs.camlcity.org/docs/godipkg/3.11/godi-lwt/lib/ocaml/pkg-lib/lwt/lwt.cmi_pretty
You can switch between the pretty-printed cmi, the mli, and the source
files. Ideal for exploring software.
