Can't run Ocaml REPL #277

Closed Nolord closed 3 years ago

Nolord commented 3 years ago

I installed the last version of emacs on my PC running on Windows 10, and iinstalled Tuareg via NonGNU ELPA. When I try to run OCaml REPL (C-c C-s), while in a .ml file, it puts this in my minibuf:

OCaml REPL to run : ocaml -nopromptcont

If I RET i get this message in the minibuf:

Searching for program: No such file or directory, ocaml

Now if I remove the "ocaml -nopromptcont", and then RET with only:

OCaml REPL to run :

I get a blank buffer named OCaml. But if I evalutae my code (C-c C-b), it tells me in the minibuf:

Output file descriptor of OCaml is closed

I'm a beginner with emacs and ocaml. I really do wanna install everything on Windows 10, no virtual machine shenanigans. Everything could be easier with opam, but it isn't available on Windows yet.

That means the program ocaml is not in your path — or that path is not known to Emacs. Add the directory where ocaml is to your path.

I can't find it, I have OCaml 4.08.1 installed for sure but I installed it with Ubuntu. I don't know what directory to put since I can't find the ocaml.exe .

  1. You should install a newer version of OCaml.
  2. You should ask on discourse for help — I'm not using Windows so I can hardly help you if you do not have minimal skills.
