There is one known bug that was discussed on this list (you have to do make -f Makefile.nt jumptbl.h manually in byterun/), but apart from this it should work if you follow the instructions in README.win32. In particular, I'd advise to compile under Cygwin (but with the -mno-cygwin option to gcc) rather than under Mingw + Msys. > Oh, and by the way: If I should be so lucky as to manage to compile > it, and then to build Windows native executables, will client > machines still need mingw to run these files?

(Unless your program explicitly requires third-party libraries, e.g. TCL/TK if you use Labltk.) - Xavier Leroy ------------------- 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
