This works: I could bootstrap ocaml with that. The only trouble, which was solved by a colleague, is that there is no lib command included: you must replace it by "link /lib" both in Makefile.msvc and ocamlopt sources. This means that you cannot use the ocamlopt from the ocamlwin binary distribution, you would have to compile it yourself. Also, the code generated is slower than the professional edition (but just the same as the student edition). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jacques Garrigue Kyoto University garrigue at kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp JG ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
