scaml compilation and installation

first of all, have opam installed and initialized

(at the project root directory) $ opam update $ opam switch create . ocaml-base-compiler.4.09.1 $ git submodule init $ git submodule update $ opam install -y vendors//.opam

this should setup a local opam switch and install scaml as well.

on merlin and emacs

it is highly recommended to install merlin for the purpose of development.

for emacs, the tuareg package is recommended for the authoring of OCaml files.

to make emacs happy with local opam switches, you may find the following elisp helpful

(defun opam-env ()
  (interactive nil)
  (dolist (var (car (read-from-string (shell-command-to-string "opam config env --sexp"))))
    (setenv (car var) (cadr var))))

on utop

it is recommended to launch utop with dune, which could be done as:

(under a project that refers scaml.inlined) $ dune utop

(in emacs) $ dune utop . -- -emacs

without doubt, there is a utop mode for emacs available
