<title>Locally installing OCaml programs and libraries</title>
<para>
Locally installed files are files that are installed directly by
the system administrator, in contrast to files installed through Debian
packages. Installation and use of locally installed OCaml related
programs is out of the scope of this document. However, in order to
have it work with a standard Debian installation, a local system
administrator should follow these guidelines:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Executable files should be installed
in <filename>/usr/local/bin</filename>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Shared libraries (for C bindings) should be installed
in <filename>/usr/local/lib/ocaml/stublibs/</filename>
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Basically, every other file should be installed
in <filename>/usr/local/lib/ocaml/</filename>. This
includes in particular bytecode libraries
(<filename>*.cma</filename>), native libraries
(<filename>*.cmxa</filename>), bytecode object files
(<filename>*.cmo</filename>), native object files
(<filename>*.cmx</filename>), native plugin object files
(<filename>*.cmxs</filename>), static libraries
(<filename>*.a</filename>) and <filename>META</filename>
files.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>
The default configuration of <filename>ocamlfind</filename> (the OCaml
library manager recommended in Debian) first looks for a local
installation of libraries and then for libraries installed by Debian
packages.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
The <varname>+</varname> preceding any library in the
<option>-I</option> of <command>ocamlc</command> or
<command>ocamlopt</command> won't be expanded to the local standard
library path. You need to specify the path entirely.
</para>
