[Caml-list] Compiling OCaml under Windows+Cygwin

[Walter Rader]

I'm attempting to compile OCaml 3.0.2 on Windows 2000.  I have
the Cygwin system installed, and everything compiles fine until
make gets to ocaml-3.02\otherlibs\labltk\lib\Makefile at which
point make dies.  Here's the output:

../../../boot/ocamlrun ../../../ocamlc -I ../../../stdlib -custom -linkall 
-o la
bltktop.exe -I ../support \
        -I ../../../toplevel toplevellib.cma labltk.cma \
        -I ../../unix unix.cma \
        -I ../../str str.cma \
        topmain.cmo
gcc: FilesOCamlbin: No such file or directory
gcc: FilesOCamlbin: No such file or directory
Error while building custom runtime system
make: *** [labltktop.exe] Error 2


Has anyone seen this error before?  I can't locate what is trying to
reference "FilesOCamlbin".  Any pointers would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!

You could try to add the -verbose option to ocamlc so that it prints
the arguments given to gcc.

My guess is that "FilesOCamlbin" could come from shell interpretation
of a Windows-style path, e.g. C:\Program Files\Ocaml\bin, where the
space isn't escaped and the \ are suppressed by the shell.  Maybe you
could figure out where this path comes from...
