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!
