The Objective Caml distribution

Version 3.04

This version was released 2001-12-12 and is not the most recent; see also the current version.

Direct access to the release directory via FTP and HTTP.

Sources:

Source distribution for the OCaml compilers and base libraries (.tar.gz format). Include the Unix, Win32 and Macintosh sources.
A source patch to work around a bug in the gcc compiler version 2.96, as found in RedHat 7.2.
Source RPM for the OCaml compilers and libraries, ready to compile under Linux RedHat, Mandrake, and LinuxPPC. Includes the patch above.
See the OCaml bazaar for contributed libraries and tools.

Precompiled binaries:

For Linux:

RedHat 6.2, Intel x86 (RPM 3 format).
RedHat 7.2, Intel x86 (RPM 4 format).
Mandrake 7.2, Intel x86 (RPM 4 format).
Mandrake 8.0, Intel x86 (RPM 4 format).

Several Linux distributions include precompiled binaries for OCaml, e.g. Debian, Mandrake, and RedHat. These binaries are often less up-to-date but more nicely packaged than ours. See also rpmfind.net.

For MS Windows 2000, NT, ME, 98, 95:

Native Win32 port, self-installing. Includes simple toplevel GUI, but some features require Microsoft Visual C++ and Microsoft Assembler.
Cygwin-based port. Does not require additional Microsoft software, but lacks the toplevel GUI. Requires the Cygwin 1.1 environment. We do not distribute binaries because of binary compatibility problems with certain versions of Cygwin. Until the problem is sorted out, please download the source distribution and compile it yourself under Cygwin.

For Mac OS:

Mac OS 9: binaries (StuffIt archive).
Mac OS X: get the binaries, or read these notes and compile from the source.
