How to install Cohttp with lwt support?

Question

Running opam install cohttp does not provide me with cohttp.lwt in findlib. Am I missing a command line option to install with lwt support?

lwt is an optional dependency of cohttp. So to activate lwt support, you'll simply need to install it:

opam install ssl lwt cohttp

Remark: you can install lwt later on and OPAM will recompile cohttp with the right options.

But I did have lwt installed and even reinstalling the packages with `opam reinstall lwt cohttp` doesn't do anything. And checking the `lib` directory in `.opam` shows me that the cohtp_lwt modules are nowehere to be found. – rgrinberg Jan 20 '13 at 18:45
Ha damn, there is no configure option, this is handled directly by cohttp ... so you can do `opam install cohttp -b` and cd ~/.opam//build/lwt` and try to play with the Makefiles ... – Thomas Jan 21 '13 at 10:07

In addition to the lwt package, you need to install the ssl package:

opam install ssl lwt cohttp
