Hello. The email address provided on the official WODI page does not work ("DNS Error: Domain name not found"), so I write here.
I've tried to port some of my OCaml projects from Linux to WODI and can report
that almost everything works beautifully out of the box (unlike with the
official OCaml installer for Windows). The package manager is an extremely
convenient tool which saved me a lot of manual effort (since neither odb nor
opam works flawlessly with the official installer).
The following packages seem to work without a hitch: batteries, easy-format,
menhir, ounit, pcre, sexplib, type_conv, ulex.
The zip package has a problem -- it lacks the necessary stub library
(dllzip_stubs.dll). I had to build it myself using the sources of camlzip at
http://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/camlzip/.
I was also able to build, install and use the following libraries by
Martin Jambon:
- atd: http://oss.wink.com/atd/
- atdgen: http://oss.wink.com/atdgen/
- biniou: http://mjambon.com/biniou.html
- yojson: http://mjambon.com/yojson.html
- cppo: http://mjambon.com/ocaml.html
As well as pa_monad: http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~carette/pa_monad/
I suggest that these libraries be added to the WODI package database.
Many thanks for providing the most useful OCaml distribution for Windows.
Cheers!

Ok,
I've replaced the domain now.

Fine :)

godi-zip is indeed broken. I've updated godi-zip to version 1.05 and
hopefully fixed it.

Martin Jambon has already created (godi-) build instructions for all
these libraries, however they were not updated to the newest version
and so didn't compile.
I have now updated them. If Martin Jambon didn't change his makefiles
in a fundamental way, the new packages should work.
cu,
Andreas

On this note, I realize that I have not announced to this list that
camlzip has released version 1.05 with findlib support (and an official
findlib package name). There are no changes to the library code, just
an extra line in the makefile for installing with findlib and a simple
META file.

Excellent job, Andreas! Huge Success! There finally is a binary OCaml distribution that _just works_, a tool of great practical importance for the rest of us, the forgotten souls, who have to deal with Windows.
atd -- works!
atdgen -- works!
biniou -- works!
yojson -- works!
cppo -- works!
zip -- works!
New package requests: ocamlgraph and pa_monad. If you added these packages to the WODI database, then I would gladly test them on my projects.

Ok,
I've added (totally untested) packages for sdl and ocamlsdl (the
build scripts of ocamlSDL indeed didn't work on windows/mingw). But
perhaps you need additional features (opengl support,mixer,...).
