Hello! Can you test ocamlbuild on windows? On my vertual machine with XP it can't create _build directory and says
C:\prog\1>ocamlbuild main.byte mkdir "C:\prog\1\_build" bash: warning: could not find /tmp, please create! bash: mkdir: command not found Failure: Error during command `mkdir "C:\prog\1\_build"'. Exit code 127.
