Hello,

I'm trying to compile ocaml (mingw) on XP.

I did not succeed, and could reproduce the very same behaviour on two 
computers (a real one, and in a virtual machine).

On my main development system, the compilation does not fail. The 
difference may be that I don't touch at my currently working cygwin 
installation. During the two failing installs, I did install a fresh 
cygwin. Is this a known problem?

Following are some (pseudo)code extracted from the script I use to make 
my installation.

Can anyone spot a mistake, that would explain the failure ?

Thanks in advance.

Matt
