This in preparation for the upcoming 4.0 release ; therefore, the "beta installer" below will install a fairly recent trunk version of OCaml. http://yquem.inria.fr/~protzenk/caml-installer/ocaml-4.01.0+dev0-i686-mingw64.exe *Changelog:* - The installer packages a working and well-configured findlib, out of the box.

Moreover, it is now able to deal with PATHs that are up to 8192 bytes long. - The installer is now able to deal with multi-user privileges: in particular, you can use this installer on a *limited account*: OCaml will properly install into your local "Application Data" folder if you don't have administrator rights on your machine. This should be particularly useful for school computers that run Windows. - Various fixes: better cleanups on exit, minor fixes for OCamlWinPlus, properly warn the user if it was unable to download ActiveTCL from the internet. - The installer packages a newer version of flexlink, so you shouldn't have any more issues with gcc not accepting the -mno-cygwin option. However, the new, official toolchain uses the mingw64 32-bit compilers. This means flexlink will look for a i686-w64-mingw32-gcc in your path whenever you try to do native compilation. The official, recommended way to work is to install cygwin and its mingw64 packages. While in theory it should be possible to work within a MSys environment, some issues [1] currently prevent you from doing so.
