LablTk not in MS Windows O'Caml 2.99?

LablTk not in MS Windows O'Caml 2.99?

[T. Kurt Bond]

[I apologize for the lack of a French version of this message.]

Hello!

It looks like the precompiled binaries for O'Caml 2.99 for MS Windows
don't include LablTk, although the Redhat binaries did include
LablTk.  Earlier versions of O'Caml for MS Windows included O'CamlTk.

Was this omission intentional?  
Result of not enough manpower?

Has anyone gotten LablTk to work on MS Windows?

Is the TK interface eventually going to be replaced by a Gtk+ interface?
Has anyone gotten LablGtk to work on MS Windows?

Does all of this depend more people helping with O'Caml development?

LablTk is not O'CamlTk, which explains this lack.
Applications written for O'CamlTk will not work with it, and you
should get and compile O'CamlTK for them.

I plan to include LablTk in the windows version of ocaml 3.00.

LablGTK is still beta, so do not expect a full replacement too soon.
It should also be ported to windows, when I get some time (or somebody
does it for me...). Since mlgtk was ported to windows, this should not
be too difficult.

This could help, certainly...

In the mean time, you can always give mlgtk a try, it is rumored to run on
windows (at least there are some windows stuff in the source, i didn't try
them myself, but pascal cuoq worked on it).
