What other OCaml top level programs exist? (Vista)


I'm using OCamlWinPlus v1.9RC4. It sucks pretty hardcore. It's constantly crashing, and lacks basic features. What other toplevel OCaml programs can be recommended for Windows Vista?


Solution

  • You can use a Windows version of Emacs and use the customization files (*.el) provided with OCaml's source archive to turn Emacs in a powerful, if idiosyncratic, toplevel.

    You'll find the instructions in ocaml-3.11.1/emacs/README. Specifically:

    Once you have started caml by M-x run-caml:

    M-C-x send phrase to inferior caml process C-c C-r send region to inferior caml process C-c C-s show inferior caml process C-c` goto error in expression sent by M-C-x
