Re: [Caml-list] utop - how to find deep dependencies

["Nicolás Ojeda Bär" <nicolas.ojeda.bar@lexifi.com>]

Hi Ian,

Not sure about utop in particular, but in the vanilla ocaml toplevel,
you can do:

    #use "topfind";;
    #require "package";;

To load a findlib package and all its dependencies in one go. See

    http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/dl/findlib-1.8.1/doc/ref-html/lib/Topfind.html

for more information.

Best wishes,
Nicolás
