+## OCaml builds

+The OCaml toolchain provided by BinaryBuilder can be requested by adding `:ocaml` to the `compilers` keyword argument to [`build_tarballs`](@ref): `compilers=[:c, :ocaml]`, and a specific version of the toolchain can be selected by adding the `preferred_ocaml_version` keyword argument to [`build_tarballs`](@ref).

 ## Editing files in the wizard
 
 In the wizard, the `vim` editor is available for editing files. But, it doesn't leave any record in the build script. One generally needs to provide patch files or use something like `sed`. If a file needs patching, we suggest using `git` to add the entire worktree to a new repo, make the changes you need, then use `git diff -p` to output a patch that can be included alongside your build recipe.

 # BinaryBuilder.jl
 
-The purpose of the [`BinaryBuilder.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/BinaryBuilder.jl) Julia package is to provide a system for compiling 3rd-party binary dependencies that should work anywhere the [official Julia distribution](https://julialang.org/downloads) does.  In particular, using this package you will be able to compile your large pre-existing codebases of C, C++, Fortran, Rust, Go, etc... software into binaries that can be downloaded and loaded/run on a very wide range of machines.  As it is difficult (and often expensive) to natively compile software packages across the growing number of platforms that this package will need to support, we focus on providing a set of Linux-hosted cross-compilers.  This package will therefore set up an environment to perform cross-compilation for all of the major platforms, and will do its best to make the compilation process as painless as possible.

 Note that at this time, BinaryBuilder itself runs on Linux `x86_64` and macOS `x86_64` systems only, with Windows support under active development.  On macOS and Windows, you must have `docker` installed as the backing virtualization engine.  Note that Docker Desktop is the recommended version; if you have Docker Machine installed it may not work correctly or may need additional configuration.
