Yesterday, I wanted to setup automatic build for a project written in OCaml, using Travis-CI. However, there is no preinstalled OCaml environment available there, so I wrote my custom .travis.yml file:
language: c
before_install: sudo apt-get update -qq
install: sudo apt-get -y install ocaml
before_script: ocaml --version
script: sh build.sh && ./a.out
os: linux
dist: focal
(Where build.sh is a simple script that calls ocamlopt with all my files in the project)
What about adding OCaml support directly to Travis-CI?
I saw that the system which converts the .travis.yml file to a build file is here:
Starting with the file lib/travis/build/script.rb, and then adding a file lib/travis/build/script/ocaml.rb, I think we can get it to work. Then we might have to update the documentation as well, but easy part.
Issues are not enabled on this repository, so I will try to do my own pull request, and post an update here with what I end with.
