So, all you need is an absolute path. If you have a way to find dynamically where the user installed the plugins, and set OCAMLPATH to that, everything will work correctly (note that OCAMLPATH is used at runtime, whereas OCAMLFIND_DESTDIR is used at compile time to gather the relevant files into the library directory). Also note that findlib always has some hard-coded default directories. I don't know what they are on Windows (and it might even depend on your compilation toolchain), but if you manage to find out their value, you could install your plugins directly in them, and you wouldn't have to setup OCAMLPATH at all. This will work even if findlib is not installed on your target machine, since the value is defined when findlib is configured (or your host machine), and then linked statically with findlib into cilly. Read carefully the manpage of findlib.conf for more details. http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/dl/findlib-1.4/doc/ref-html/r775.html > Also, yes, I am using the bin/cilly Perl wrapper. bin/cilly tries to locate ../share/cil/ocamlpath. If the file exists, it will append its content to OCAMLPATH automatically. So yet another option is to make sure this file contains the correct absolute path when you install on cilly on your target machine. You can tweak the path of this file easily by modifying bin/cilly (for instance if you'd rather have it installed in the same directory as cilly itself, rather than in ../share/cil). As you can see, there are many options. It depends a lot on how your software is distributed and installed. The bottom-line, however, is that you need to (dynamically) figure out the absolute path to your plugin directory.
