To install the compiler, you need OCaml, Coq.8.7.1 along with the
ExtLib, Template-Coq, squiggle-eq and paramcoq packages. One way to get
everything is using opam (current version:
1.2.2):
To add the official Coq repositories, you need to declare the repositories:
# opam repo add coq-released https://coq.inria.fr/opam/released
# opam repo add coq-core-dev https://coq.inria.fr/opam/core-dev
Add the extra-dev repository, which contains packages
for development versions (e.g. git branches) and is relatively
unstable. It might be needed to compile non-released versions of
CertiCoq. Beware opam will usually select packages from there as they
have the most permissive dependencies, which might not always be what
you want.
# opam repo add coq-extra-dev https://coq.inria.fr/opam/extra-dev
Note that supported OCaml version are 4.02.3 to 4.05.0, avoid
4.06.0 which sometimes produces dynamic linking errors. In opam 1.*,
use opam config var ocaml-version to confirm you have a compatible
compiler. If not, you should create a fresh new switch with a specific
compiler, using:
# opam switch -A 4.05.0 coq87
# eval `opam config env`
This will install the 4.05.0 compiler in a new switch named coq87
and put you in the right environment (check with ocamlc --version).
To install coq in a fresh switch and pin it to a specific version so
that opam doesn't try to upgrade it:
# opam install coq.8.7.1
# opam pin add coq 8.7.1
Alternatively, if you can you want to update a pinned Coq:
# opam pin remove coq
# opam pin add coq 8.7.1
After this you should have coqc --version give you the right version
number.
When the above opam repositories are updated, you may need to update your installation.
# opam update
If the dependencies are already installed then you can skip the following section and just do:
# opam upgrade coq-template-coq coq-ext-lib coq-squiggle-eq
To install CertiCoq's dependencies in the current opam switch:
# opam install coq-template-coq coq-ext-lib coq-squiggle-eq.dev coq-paramcoq
The package is known to build with coq-template-coq.2.0~beta,
coq-ext-lib.0.9.7, coq-squiggle-eq.dev and coq-paramcoq.1.0.5.
If you have already installed some package manually, you can choose the
--fake keyword for opam to assume that it is installed, e.g.:
# opam install --fake coq
Alternatively, you can install Coq from source or download a binary from:
https://coq.inria.fr/coq-87
and install the packages from source:
https://github.com/coq-ext-lib/coq-ext-lib
https://github.com/gmalecha/template-coq (branch: coq-8.7)
https://github.com/aa755/SquiggleEq
https://github.com/aa755/paramcoq (branch: v8.7)
At certicoq/, run:
# make -j4 -k
This will build the compiler and its proofs.
To build the OCaml version of the compiler and the
CertiCoq Compile plugin, in theories/, run:
# sh make_plugin.sh
To install Certicoq, do the following. This steps the above build steps. # make install
If the above fails, try the following
-
update the dependencies, as explained above
-
"make clean" at certicoq/ and then try to build again. Try "make cleanCoqc" as well.
-
Ensure that your working copy is EXACTLY the same as the contents of SVN repo. Unversioned files and directories should also be removed because they can interfere with how Coq resolves imports and how Makefile tracks dependences (via coqdep).
If you are using a git client to access the SVN repo, "git reset HEAD --hard; git clean -xf" ensures that the working copy exactly matches the state of the repository.
If you use the SVN client, there should be something similar: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/239340/automatically-remove-subversion-unversioned-files http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6204572/is-there-a-subversion-command-to-reset-the-working-copy
- Is your file system case-insensitive? Please consider using a linux VM. Or, try making all Require Imports/Exports fully qualified, so that Coq doesn't import the wrong file because its name differes only in capitalization. There is tool to help with that: https://github.com/JasonGross/coq-tools/
If errors remain AFTER step 2, please send an email to the certicoq mailing list. Until step 2, others cannot be sure about the state of the working copy of your machine, so their help may not be applicable.
