For my favourite platform, Linux, this is a done deal. Thanks! On windows I will probably choose the MinGW based environment. For Mac, I notice that there is a pre-compiled Mac binaries for the compiler: http://caml.inria.fr/distrib/ocaml-3.09/ocaml-3.09.0.dmg I presume that these are PowerPC binaries. Is that correct? Is there likely to be a version soon targetting the Intel CPU soon? So, on to GUIs. My GUI requirements are rather simple. In fact the lablTk libraries should do the trick. Has anyone actually done any Ocaml development with a lablTk GUI targeting all three platforms? If so, how did it work out?
