• /boot directory: has the bytecode compiler. ocamlc is already committed there.
• There is ocamlrun in runtime which is only in C, and hence can be built without OCaml.

Workflow looks like this:

• use ocamlrun to run pre-commited ocamlc to get a bytecode compiler. This will compile code into bytecode.
• Then we get an ocamlopt that will give you the compilers compiled in native code.
• Using that, we can get ocamlc.opt and ocamlopt.opt. They perform the same functions but they are native executables.

There is also a test suite that allows you to test code. Go to testsuite/.
