New versions would fix earlier bugs but introduce new ones, and versions would be incompatible. I was rather hoping that this would have improved by now. We ended up keeping a known working version stored locally, and always using that, if necessary patching it ourselves. Fortunately this was all for internal tools, and we never had to worry about distributing them. Is it possible for INRIA to distribute the exact version of Cygwin needed for OCaml? I remember Cygwin having fairly nasty licensing restrictions. -----Original Message----- From: Mattias Waldau [mailto:mattias.waldau@abc.se] Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 16:59 I didn't get that kind of behaviour using the pre 3.01 cygwin-versions. Maybe the error isn't that you need the latest cygwin, but the same cygwin that was used to build ocaml. (I used the binary installs.) ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr. Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
