Camlp4 release for OCaml 4.08 is the last release ever - see the official announcement. It is recommended to port the code to use ppx (extension points), or any external parser (like mehrir, sedlex, ocamllex, ansgtrom, etc).

Latest available package is 3.4 and still depends on camlp4: http://opam.ocaml.org/packages/ocapic/

P.S. you might also want to switch to Dune build system to simplify building, maintenance, and even publishing (using dune-release tool).

Right off the bat, I'd love to see the manpage listed online somewhere — I'm building an OCaml 4.03.0 OPAM switch as we speak, in an attempt to get OCaPIC to install; but it's far from ideal way to simply read the documentation and find out what OCaPic can do!

Similarly ('cuz this is the information I'm actually digging for), the README should probably include a list of supported microcontrollers, or some information about how to hunt down a compatible device …

Thanks for your time! <3

Trying to install through opam, or running ./configure && make produces the following error:

cut: invalid byte/character position '$'
Try 'cut --help' for more information.

In case it matters, my version of cut: cut (GNU coreutils) 8.28.

Hi,

We are considering extracting the graphics library that is currently distributed with OCaml as an external package (cf ocaml/ocaml#2318). In particular, this means that the files of graphics will now be in <libdir>/graphics rather than the standard library directory. This change breaks the build of ocapic. I looked at the build of ocapic to see if it could be updated to cope with this change, however it is not clear how to proceed given that ocapic currently doesn't rely on ocamlfind.

It seems to me that the simplest solution would be to add a dependency on ocamlfind and call ocamlfind query graphics inside the configure script. Does that sound good to you?
