I'm new to the list, and am having a fair amount of trouble getting OCaml up and running on Windows XP (I have it running on Linux just fine). Here's my goal: I want to run ocamlopt and have a binary executable for my project on Windows and be able to give it to my friend and have it run; this would rule out Cygwin, since I'd need extra .dll files. I don't want that, so I wanted to go ahead and download one of the other OCaml binary installables (MSVC or MinGW). However, I tried both, and I keep getting the same error: >> ocamlopt -o geomancian figures.ml geomancian.ml > > 'as' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable > program or batch file. > File "figures.ml", line 1, characters 0-1: > Error: Assembler error, input left in file omitted>\camlasme1fe97.s I'm at a loss of what to do next. I've googled for pages and pages of results that, while this problem isn't uncommon, I haven't found any solution to it. I feel bad asking this, but could someone guide me through the installation on Windows step-by-step? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! -Sam Block
