Ocamlopt is looking for the assembler, i.e. 'as' command. Looks like the
binutils is missing on the target machine. You can get it from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=11290&release_id=19108
The Ocaml download page for binary distribution for Microsoft Windows at:
http://caml.inria.fr/download.en.html
mentions that, some features require the Cygwin environment (for MinGW)
and similar for MSVC.
I'm curious to find out whether it would work with just a mingw-msys
installation, without using Cygwin. Waiting for the download to finish
on my machine.
Best regards,
Shailesh S. Khandekar,
Pune.
