[Caml-list] Dynlink under Windows

[Caml-list] Dynlink under Windows

[Dmitri Boulytchev]

        Hello,

        am I right supposing no Dynlink library port for Windows
        exists? Are there some porting obstacles?

        Best regards,

You're not :)
The Dynlink module from the OCaml standard distribution works fine on
Windows.
But it only works when using bytecode ( same under *nix )

    So what does message "Error on dynamically loaded library: dynamic
    loading not supported on this platform" mean in this case? Doesn't
    it concern Dynlink?

This is about dynamic loading of dlls (C code).
Dynlink is about dynamic linking of ocaml code.

Both are supported on windows under MSVC and mingw, but
apparently dynamic loading is not supported under cygwin.

        I beleive that both mechanisms work fine separatedly :) Let me to 
clarify: I use Dynlink to load the module that uses DLLs (nums, str etc.) and	
I have the error using native Win-MSVC port. May be some additional  
configuring is needed?
