The packages that I needed and that didn't compile in the standard repository were working thanks to patches applied in his repository.
Also, the maintainer was very prompt and helpful when dealing with my pull request.
There are other forks of that repository, but when googling for "opam windows" they do not appear on the first page, which is unfortunate since they seem to me the best currently available option.
- kxyvr 11y agoThanks for the reference as I've not tried that. Unfortunately, that project just failed to install for me, but I put in a bug report for the maintainer. Ideally, there'd be an official Windows port and installer that doesn't depend on Cygwin. Certainly that takes time and effort to develop and maintain, so it's nice to see projects like this in the interim.
