You need to have autoconf, ocaml and ocamlfind installed. Then just: $ autoconf && autoheader && ./configure && make or the specific versions your system provides. so for the FreeBSD machine I'm writing this on it would be: $ autoconf259 && autoheader259 && ./configure && make and then ignore any errors in docs/ like complaints about a missing dot binary.
