On my side I've tryed all available solutions (included compile from sources). My test windows environment is Windows 7 on a 32 bit architecture. Cygwin's ocaml was the one that was working the best for me, but I'm not using it because using Cygwin's toolchain means that everything that you do has to be GPL. So are you sure that's what you want? I'm currently only doing open-source, but I don't like "coercive freedom". I like to make free things really freely :p So I'm using protz ocaml instead, the download link is available here: http://caml.inria.fr/download.en.html The link is called: "Self installer (4.00.0) for the port based on the MinGW toolchain" Don't beleive the 4.00.0 indication, it's right 4.00.1 ! But indeed later it's much simple to compile and install other additional libraries with Cygwin's OCaml than with Protz's OCaml, mostly because of directory separator. But I haven't understood why Protz' OCaml uses '\', since when I'm inside cmd.exe, the windows terminal, using '/' works just fine, but using '\' inside Cygwin's terminal just clashes... Anyway for libs using a good old Makefile it's quite easy to fix this issue. With an _oasis build it may be harder, and most often when I don't want to waste time, I just rewrite a Makefile from scratch. Makefiles are usually more portable than oasis builds. I've never succeed to compile ocaml itself from sources on Windows, but I'm an early beginner on Windows, you might be more lucky than me if you try, the complete details are there: http://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-4.01/notes/README.win32 --
