Description

ocaml_godi is a wrapper for GODI, which is a package management system and distribution of the OCaml programming language. This wrapper is provided so as to allow ROS packages depending on OCaml to build in a self-contained manner inside of ROS.

Installation

rosmake ocaml_godi will install a basic GODI distribution into the ocaml_godi package directory. This involves downloading the sources for OCaml and a significant number of supplementary OCaml modules, and then building these. Therefore, this step may take a while.

Please note that the installation process will modify your ~/.bash_profile. Specifically, it will append some lines to set environment variables necessary for OCaml compilation to proceed successfully. If your shell is invoked in such a way that ~/.bash_profile is not sourced (or if you use a shell besides bash), you will need to source it or set these variables manually.
