Use Ocsfml

Use Ocsfml

In the ocaml top level

Type #use "topfind" to active findlib feature. Then type #require "ocsfml.system", #require "ocsfml.window", #require "ocsfml.graphics",#require "ocsfml.audio" ,#require "ocsfml.network" to load the corresponding files. You may then access the module you loaded.

Compiling a single file

The easiest method is to directly call ocamlfind. For instance, if you want to produce a byte or native executable (called bar) from your file foo.ml (which use the modules graphics, window and system) you will type :

ocamlfind ocamlc -linkpkg -package 'ocsfml.graphics' foo.ml -o bar

ocamlfind ocamlopt -linkpkg -package 'ocsfml.graphics' foo.ml -o bar

Note that you only have to specify the package graphics : the module graphics depends on the modules window and system, ocamlfind automatically add the corresponding packages.

Using ocamlbuild

ocamlbuild is a tool which comes with ocaml (since ocaml 3.11) and ease the compilation process. To use Ocsfml with ocamlbuild and ocamlfind you can use the following command :

ocamlbuild -use-ocamlfind -package ocsfml.your-module your-file.byte

ocamlbuild -use-ocamlfind -package ocsfml.your-module your-file.native

Alternatively, you can use the _tags file, namely :

<your-file.{ml,byte,native}> : package ( ocsfml.your-module )

Then, when calling ocamlbuild just pass the -use-ocamlfind argument.
