Hi all ! I have done more work on the ocaml cross-compiler for windows.
I have succesfully compiled a fairly large application which runs on windows. Hence, I believe the package may be tested now if you are interested. The package can be found in the mingw32-ocaml git repository [1] and compiles under cowbuilder on amd64. For the details, I have finally choosed to locate the standard files in /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib/ocaml, which seems consistent with the location of the files shipped by mingw32. The package now also includes a support for ocamlfind. In order to use it, you should set the environment variable OCAMLFIND_CONF to /etc/i586-mingw32msvc- ocamlfind.conf In order to also force the build system to choose the ocaml cross-compiler, you may add /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin at the beginning of the PATH variable: export PATH=/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin:$PATH Eventually, when the build system uses the autoconf tool, you can build the C libraries with the following options: ./configure --prefix=/usr/i586-mingw32msvc --host=i586-mingw32msvc It is convenient to install those libs directly in /usr/i586-mingw32msvc, though not very clean. However, it seems that /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/local is not recognized by the mingw32 cross-compiler. Please, let me know if you have any feedback from this..
