Bernhard Schommer 2c193614f7 Ocaml layer init without opam.
Currently the ocaml layer requires opam in order to work. However
opam is only really required for an easy installation of the
required ocaml binaries. The only place where opam is used
instead is to add the merlin files of the merlin installed
via opam instead of the merlin files from melp.

This commit introduces a fallback if opam is not installed but
ocamlmerlin is installed, since the melpa package of merlin
is already installed through packages.

Ocaml layer

/TakeV/spacemacs/media/commit/777dc4ea9b40392503bc7c59d7eee2ad9453012c/layers/+lang/ocaml/img/ocaml.png

Description

This is a very basic layer for editing ocaml files.

Features:

  • Syntax highlighting (major-mode) via tuareg-mode
  • Error reporting, completion and type display via merlin
  • auto-completion with company mode via merlin
  • syntax-checking via flycheck-ocaml

Install

Layer

To use this configuration layer, add it to your ~/.spacemacs. You will need to add ocaml to the existing dotspacemacs-configuration-layers list in this file.

OPAM packages

This layer requires some opam packages:

  • merlin for auto-completion
  • utop
  • ocp-indent

To install them, use the following command:

  opam install merlin utop ocp-indent

Make sure opam is initialized and configured.

  opam init
  opam config setup -a
