I used to use http://protz.github.io/ocaml-installer/ which generates native standalone binaries which can run under CMD or powershell. After upgrade to 4.06, there is no such installer any more, I tried to install from source, everything works except that generated exe can only run under cygwin si…

Are you starting from a clean tree? It worked just now for me. I did: $ curl -L -O https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/archive/4.06.1.tar.gz $ cd ocaml-4.06.1 $ cp config/m-nt.h byterun/caml/m.h $ cp config/s-nt.h byterun/caml/s.h $ cp config/Makefile.mingw64 config/Makefile $ git clone https://github.c…

Since you compiled from source, you certainly read the release notes for the Microsoft Windows ports of OCaml ( https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/trunk/README.win32.adoc )? Do not confuse the environment used to compile them with the different ports. By instance, you can compile the Native Mingw-w6…

To generate native Windows binaries (that do not depend on the Cygwin DLL) you have two options, depending which toolchain you want to use: use the native Microsoft toolchain (compiler: cl) use the mingw-w64 toolchain (compiler: gcc) To use 1., configure as follows: ./configure --build=x86_64-un…

I get an errror after set --host option, --build option does not work. Hongbo Zhang@DESKTOP-PCMUAKU /cygdrive/c/ocaml406/ocaml-4.06.1 $ ./configure --prefix /cygdrive/c/ocaml406/ocaml-4.06.1 --host x86_64-w64-mingw32 && make world.opt Configuring OCaml version 4.06.1 Configuring for host x86_64-w64…

I remember we used to have a binary distribution on Windows platform for casual users, now it seems to get even more difficult to try ocaml on windows…

I tried the GUI installer provided by fdopen, it failed in the last step. Its version is 4.07 though

The instructions given in my previous reply are for 4.08; for previous versions you need to do: cp config/m-nt.h byterun/caml/m.h cp config/s-nt.h byterun/caml/s.h for microsoft toolchain (cl) cp config/Makefile.msvc64 config/Makefile for mingw toolchain (gcc) cp config/Makefile.mingw64 con…

This makes a bit further, but now I have such an error: x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -c -O -mms-bitfields -Wall -Wno-unused -fno-tree-vrp -DOCAML_STDLIB_DIR='L"C:/ocamlmgw64/lib"' -I"C:\ocaml406\ocaml-4.06.1\flexdll" -g -DCAML_NAME_SPACE -DUNICODE -D_UNICODE -DWINDOWS_UNICODE=1 prims.c ../boot/ocamlrun .…

You are missing an installed flexlink. The easiest way to get it is to do make flexdll before make world.opt. NOTE: you will need to completely clean your tree before doing make flexdll (ie git clean -fdx if using a git clone).

try to make flexdll, thanks for the help Hongbo Zhang@DESKTOP-PCMUAKU /cygdrive/c/ocaml406/ocaml-4.06.1 $ make flexdll make -C byterun BOOTSTRAPPING_FLEXLINK=yes ocamlrun.exe make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/c/ocaml406/ocaml-4.06.1/byterun' x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -O -mms-bitfields -Wall -Wno-…

Maybe it’s better to try newer version then? 4.09 was released since…
