THere's probably a way to look at that > too… i am not familiar with the ocaml stuffs, and i dont quite understand what is the problem ur currently getting. since i dont want to revive ocaml stuffs, at least for now bcs it looks like a lot of work and i dont really need them. however, i did tried to compile ocaml-dune version 2.9.3 and 3.7.1 (for ocaml 4.14) previously for some other personal reason (not for llvm), and here are the prebuilt binaries of dune 3.7.1 if you need[1], i kinda forgot how i bootstrapped it. i didn't upload the cygport files for this dune and other related/depended pkgs, but i made a dirty tarball at here just now: [2], some of them are still wip.
