findlib with MinGW

findlib with MinGW

[Paul Steckler]

Does anyone have clear instructions on how to build 
findlib with the MinGW port of OCaml?

For me, the `configure' script with the option `-system mingw'
fails when it tries to build tools/extract_args.  I'm using the Windows 7 
RC.

RE: [Caml-list] findlib with MinGW

[David Allsopp]

I built OCaml 3.11.0/MinGW with findlib on Windows 7 RC a few days ago. I
found that while my Cygwin installer doesn't install its own OCaml on
Windows Vista by default, for some reason on Windows 7 it installs loads
more software in the default install!

Is Cygwin's OCaml definitely not installed?
