Mingw32-ocaml 3.12.0

Thursday 12 August 2010, by Toots

An updated version of the ocaml cross-compiler package, based on ocaml 3.12.0, has just been uploaded to Debian experimental !

Any report and test on the package would be very welcome ! I have personally tested it with Liquidsoap and built a win32 version of the software.

Since this build implies many external modules as well as C objects, I am pretty confident in the cross-compiler uploaded to experimental..

About the cross-compiler: the ocaml cross-compiler is the result of the hard work done by Richard Jones for Fedora. The Debian package is merely a backport (and adaptation to ocaml 3.12.0) of his patches.

If you care about the future of the cross-compiler, the best you can do is work with upstream to find how to push the needed changes there in order to have a plain support for it.

I have personally no time for starting this process but I could try to describe the patches to an intereste contributor. Warning: some are REALLY hacky :-)
