Suspecting a problem with spaces in path names, I reinstalled the distribution to C:\ocaml and tried setting OCAMLLIB to "C:\ocaml\lib" and "/cygdrive/c/ocaml/lib" -- both verified with ocamlc -v, but still no luck. I also tried the -nostdlib option while using -I to include the lib directory: $ ocamlc -nostdlib -I /cygdrive/c/ocaml/lib ... $ ocamlc -nostdlib -I C:\ocaml\lib ... Neither worked. I then tried a symbolic link to the lib directory: $ ln -s /cygdrive/c/ocaml/lib lib $ ocamlc -nostdlib -I lib ... Nope. What finally worked was copying the lib directory into the Cygwin environment: $ cp -r /cygdrive/c/ocaml/lib lib $ ocamlc -nostdlib -I lib ... I have no idea why this worked, but the symbolic link didn't. I guess that's windows for you.
