The caml-findlib Portfile 59356 2009-10-13 22:25:22Z avsm macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0
Name: caml-findlib
Version: 1.2.5
distname findlib-${version}
Category: devel ml
Maintainers: avsm
Description: Objective Caml library management system
Long Description: The findlib library provides a scheme to manage reusable software components (packages), and includes tools that support this scheme. Packages are collections of OCaml modules for which metainformation can be stored. The packages are kept in the filesystem hierarchy, but with strict directory structure. The library contains functions to look the directory up that stores a package, to query metainformation about a package, and to retrieve dependency information about multiple packages. There is also a tool that allows the user to enter queries on the command-line. In order to simplify compilation and linkage, there are new frontends of the various OCaml compilers that can directly deal with packages.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/caml-findlib
%  sudo port install caml-findlib  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching caml-findlib
--->  Verifying checksum for caml-findlib
--->  Extracting caml-findlib
--->  Configuring caml-findlib
--->  Building caml-findlib with target all

--->  Staging caml-findlib into destroot

--->  Installing caml-findlib

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using caml-findlib with these commands:

%  man caml-findlib
%  apropos caml-findlib
%  which caml-findlib
%  locate caml-findlib
