I hope I can do this soon. I haven't done any serious Windows programming in several years, but when I did, building on Windows implicitly meant "with the MS toolchain" and emphatically *not* with Cygwin, MinGW, etc. Certainly, a Cygwin or MinGW port is a good step, but unless the Windows world has changed, not having a Windows GODI in the sense I describe above will be a hindrance to acceptance. -- Brian ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
