How can this package be installed?

[philtomson]

There doesn't seem to be any way to install deriving. No META file and no 'install' target in the Makefile.

Also, let's say I want to use deriving in my own project, can you provide some examples in the README file showing how to compile my project that uses deriving?

I'm guessing it'll be something like: ocamlfind ocamlc -package deriving, deriving.syntax, camlp4 -linkpkg -o my_proj my_proj.ml

?

It is true. The only way to do it at the moment is to manually copy the deriving binary to a bin directory.

It looks like Raphael Proust and Henri Gregoire have done considerable work on deriving:

https://github.com/hnrgrgr/deriving

including better installation support; you might try that instead or check with them about its status.

Thanks. This is the problem with github, it's difficult to find the canonical version of the thing you're looking for.

Well, my intention was to be maintainer for deriving, but I don't have the time. I will see if Raphael / Gregoire want to be maintainers.
