Hello. > Realistically, there is just no easy way to install Ocaml on Windows > from what I've learned.
Can ever exist any easier way than to download a windows installer, run it, follow the usual "next->next->next->finish" procedure and use OCaml with findlib, oasis and many useful libraries contained in the overbld package? If this way does exist, can you please tell me, what it is? Except a strong telepathic desire "I want OCaml on this windows box, install it somehow!", please. (of course, overbld works on unix too, I use it on some linux distributions that does not provide the packages I need, and it's easier to maintain a specified set of software for all OSes I use than to require bugfixes for all OCaml packages on every platform. The "real work" requires bugs to be fixed as soon as possible, and it's easier to fix bugs with simple patches right now (hour/day), than to talk with all maintainers of all OS packages/ports (days...), and then let them talk with upstream (more days...), then waiting for the upstream fix (weeks...), then waiting for new package version in OS (weeks/months...). Even in the ideal conditions, it tooks at least 2..10 days, it's unacceptable for some kinds of OCaml developement.) -- Caml-list mailing list.
