[Caml-list] Compiling on windows (mingw)

[Daan Leijen <daan@cs.uu.nl>]

Hi all,

I am trying to compile the glorious ocaml compiler from source on
windowsXP using mingw32 (and cygwin tools). However when I try to
compile ocamlopt, the build fails on the "ar" utility:

 > make -f Makefile.nt opt

[snip]

../boot/ocamlrun ../ocamlopt -a -o stdlib.cmxa pervasives.cmx array.cmx

Maybe someone else on this list has experienced this problem too?

Thanks for the help,
All the best,
