Build errors on macOS 10.13.3

[lanza]

Sorry, I know absolutely nothing about ocaml to even begin diagnosing the issue, so I'll just copy paste the errors to a gist.

Bytes need to be switched to String or vice versa.

I don’t maintain this project anymore but I suppose I’ll merge a PR that fixes this. (I will not work on it though)

@lanza, my suggestion would be to use less fresh OCaml compiler. You're using 4.06 that is the latest and where they finally enforced the separation between bytes and strings. E.g., if you're using opam, then you can do

opam switch 4.05.0
eval `opam config env`

and then install rdr.

@m4b the hotfix could be adding -unsafe-string option to the compiler.

@lanza If you want a cli tool similar to rdr but better/maintained try https://github.com/m4b/bingrep

If you want to mess around with binary stuff in ocaml then I suggest you to the bap project: https://Github.com/binaryanalysisplatform/bap

the latter link should be https://github.com/BinaryAnalysisPlatform/bap or just http://bap.ece.cmu.edu :)
