http://ocsigen.org/lwt

---

Requirements:

• OCaml (>= 4.01)
• findlib
• [optional] camlp4 (from http://github.com/ocaml/camlp4)
• [optional] ppx_tools (from http://github.com/alainfrisch/ppx_tools)
• [optional] react (from http://erratique.ch/software/react)
• [optional] libev (from http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html)
• [optional] ocamlssl (>= 0.4.0) (ocamlssl needs openssl) (>= 0.4.1 for MacOS)
• [optional] glib-2.0 development files and pkg-config

If the dependencies are not installed on your computer, you can use OPAM to install them automatically. See:

http://opam.ocaml.org/

They might also be available through your distribution.

Instructions:

• run ocaml setup.ml -configure to configure sources You can add --enable-<lib> to enable compilation of the sub-library . The flag --enable-all will enable everything, including --enable-ppx; pass --disable-ppx explicitly on OCaml <4.02. In order to compile without libev support you must add --disable-libev. On OCaml >= 4.02, you should pass '--enable-ppx' and install ppx_tools.
• run ocaml setup.ml -build to compile
• run ocaml setup.ml -install as root to install compiled libraries
• run ocaml setup.ml -uninstall as root to uninstall them

HTML documentation is generated in _build/lwt.docdir/, but is not installed by default.

If you get the development version you need to obtain OASIS (http://oasis.forge.ocamlcore.org/).

The Lwt toplevel was deprecated and removed. Use utop instead:
