OCaml ppx to include a binary blob from a file as a string. Writing [%blob "filename"] will replace the string with the contents of the file at
compile time. This allows the inclusion of arbitrary, possibly compressed, data,
without the need to respect OCaml's lexical conventions.
The filename can be relative to either the source file where [%blob] appears, or relative to the current working directory. If both files exist, the former takes precedence.
Requires OCaml 4.02 or above.
Run make in the top directory. Then run make in the examples directory.
Now run the quine executable.
Run make install in the top directory once make has been run.
dune
Add (preprocessor_deps filename) to your filename stanza. See https://github.com/johnwhitington/ppx_blob/tree/master/test for an example. This will make sure the file is copied to the build directory and therefore visible to ppx_blob.
