Hello,
Cygwin’s package “ocaml” is currently at 4.02.3, and “flexdll” is at
0.34. The latest FlexDLL, 0.35, makes it possible to build and use OCaml
4.03.0 and 4.04.0 on Cygwin [1].
I am not sure who is the current maintainer of these packages. I
searched the mailing list, and found Damien Doligez apparently submitted
OCaml 4.01.0.
However, I package releases of OCaml and related packages in little
Cygwin mirrors, for use on build bots [2]. If desired, I can adapt the
packages to be suitable for public Cygwin, and submit them. I expect to
be making the build bot packages for quite a while, so I should be able
to also submit to Cygwin on an ongoing basis.
Ideally, this would produce OPAM on Cygwin as well.
Best,
Anton
