[Caml-list] ocamlodbc, unixODBC, and MinGW/Cygwin

[Yaron M. Minsky]

I've been trying to complie ocamlodbc on windows and have been running
into trouble.  I seem to have the necessary libs and include files
(libodbc32.a, odbcinst.h, sql.h, sqlext.h, etc.), but configure
nonetheless chokes, and in a somewhat weird way, spitting out
"conftest.out: No such file or directory."It chokes here event hough the file it's looking for is actually there.

So, does anyone know how to make this work?  I've tried this using both
Cygwin and Cygwin+MinGW, to no avail.
Thanks,
Yaron
