It is either 'built in' to g++ package in cygwin, or is its
own package, can't remember. Whichever way, it "just works" without
any need to touch any paths or anything else.
Felix should build under all three of:
--target=cygwin
--target=nocygwin
--host=nocygwin
What I recommend is:
(a) first try to build under cygwin:
./configure
make
(b) then you can try to build to make nocygwin target dlls:
# start in clean directory!
./configure --target=nocygwin
make
(c) if you want then try cygwin free host tools, however this
is much harder because Ocaml compiler is a Cygwin tool.
# start in clean directory
./configure --host=nocygwin
make
Note that the compiler flxg is STILL dependent on cygwin1.dll
I think, since it is built by Cygwin Ocaml.
To get around this you need to install a different Ocaml.
This is tricky! There are THREE Ocamls on WIndows:
1. Cygwin
2. MingW
3. MSVC++
and option (3) requires MS Assembler as well.
(d) Finally, you may want to build 100% native Win32,
which you can do by installing win32 native ocaml,
MS assembler (for Ocaml), MSVC++, setting up environment
for both to work, and then
win32config
win32make
from CMD.EXE prompt. Generally the build script can handle
all these options, but it is very hard to test all the
combinations. It's particularly messing that some
commands look like:
bin/fred dir\\arg
because even though you're running bash, fred is a windows
program and expects a windows filename argument.
