That makes Malcolm Matalka’s comment even more pertinent – is there a reason for ruling out F#? I think you’ll have a much easier time doing Windows GUIs with that than with OCaml (and I’d go so far as to say the result will look better, assuming that you have no interest in cross-platform support).

Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Ocaml on windows

I am looking to develop a desktop application which will be distributed to customers, so for now I think I will need ocaml libs like wxwidget, batteries, sql lite db library, sockets, networking etc.

Is anyone using omake on windows? Does it have a dependency on Cygwin like ocamlbuild?

Hello,
I personnaly used mxe to cross compile from linux to windows (gtk2, cairo, camlimages)
Mxe is a set of hundreds of C libraries cross-compiled, plus a few ocaml libraries.
community is nice for support of C libraries, but would not be able to help you on ocaml packages.

what C and ocaml libraries does your project depend on ? What build system do you use (ocamlbuild, Makefile, ...)
This might be easy to use mxe, depending on your answers.
