 # ocamlrep: Interop OCaml and Rust code
 
-The goal of this project is to make OCaml and Rust code interoperable. While in its early stage of development, this library is actively used by the [HHVM](https://github.com/facebook/hhvm) project, mostly in the Hack type checker, to make OCaml code rely on Rust.

+  - OCaml 4.14.0;
+  - A rust nightly toolchain.
 
 ## Building ocamlrep
-TODO
+Assume an opam installation on a `4.14.0` like switch. From the repository root,
+```bash
+    OCAMLLIB=$(ocamlopt.opt -config | grep standard_library: | awk '{ print $2 }'); export OCAMLLIB
