******************************************************************************
INSTALL - RPC
******************************************************************************
==============================================================================
The RPC package
==============================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RPC needs O'Caml >= 3.08 and the equeue package (see the equeue [1] page). The
installation procedure defined in the Makefile requires findlib [2] to work [3]
.
In order to compile the new HTTP tunnel (rpc-over-http), you also need the
packages netstring [4] and netclient [5]. Important: You need the netclient
version that is flagged as "experimental" (0.90).
If you want support for the AUTH_DH (alias AUTH_DES) authentication style you
need also cryptgps [6]. Furthermore, your operating system must provide the
AUTH_DH infrastructure (keyserv and tools).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can configure rpc by calling the configure script:
./configure
The script prints a summary of the effective options. You can change settings
by passing arguments to the script, see
./configure -help
for a list of arguments.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compilation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Makefile defines the following goals:
- make all
compiles with the bytecode compiler and creates the archive rpc.cma, and the
executable generator/ocamlrpcgen.
- make opt
compiles with the native compiler and creates the archive rpc.cmxa.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Makefile defines the following goals:
- make install
installs the bytecode archive, the interface definitions, and if present,
the native archive in the directory suggested by findlib (or the directory
set by OCAMLFIND_DESTDIR). Moreover, the executable ocamlrpcgen is installed
in the directory BIN.
- make uninstall
removes the package
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linking RPC with findlib
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The command
ocamlfind ocamlc ... -package rpc ... -linkpkg ...
links the necessary archives of RPC into the executable to build. (Note: This
does not work with ocamlfind-mini!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linking RPC without findlib
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The command
ocamlc ... -I /dir/of/rpc -I /dir/of/equeue equeue.cma rpc.cma ...
links the necessary archives of RPC into the executable to build.
