Dear OCaml users and developers,
I am trying to compile a copy of OCaml on Windows 7 amd64, following instructions in README.win32, but "make -f Makefile.nt" world dies with the following error:
make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/me/src/ocaml/byterun'
flexlink -merge-manifest -stack 16777216 -exe -o ocamlrun.exe prims.obj ws2_32.lib \
libcamlrun.lib
** Fatal error: Cannot find file "ws2_32.lib"
Makefile.nt:23: recipe for target 'ocamlrun.exe' failed
make[1]: *** [ocamlrun.exe] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/me/src/ocaml/byterun'
Initial set-up I tried compiling under was: cygwin64 command-line tools + Windows SDK 8.1; I have also tried cygwin32 command-line tools + Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7.
My ~/.msenv32 currently looks as follows:
