Oh, yeah, I guess, well, yeah, you're probably out of luck until somebody decides (like ActiveState did for Perl and Python - and note until they came along, that you were equally out-of-luck with Perl/Python) to port all the Caml tools nicely. Until then, well, hmmmm ... I wonder how easy it would be to use Cygwin ... Regardless, I think that solving this problem on UNIXes is already sufficiently valuable that more-or-less standardizing on OCamlMakefile and findlib would be a big step forward. It isn't that I'm trying to be bigoted against Windows. Just that, well, there are UNIX tools, and Windows tools. And you aren't going to find the Windows tools on natively Unix, any more than you'll find the UNIX tools natively on Windows. E.g., note that you don't get Visual C++.Net on Unix anywhere. And you don't get full xemacs on Windows, except under Cygwin. --chet-- ------------------- 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
