04:02 <aries> newb question sorry. I installed ocaml for microsoft toolchain v3.11.0 onto my xpsp3 machine. i then downloaded and installed the windows 7 sdk and flexlink. I added flexlink to PATH and ran vcvars32.bat, and ran "ocamlopt a.ml" on a trivial program. It compiled without complaint, but when I attempted to run the resulting "camlprog.exe", it just complained that "The system cannot execute the specific program.". Any ideas?

04:03 <aries> specified* program sorry

04:03 <thelema> how big is camlprog.exe?

04:03 <aries> 132,096 (bytes)

04:04 <aries> C:\Program Files\ICW\home\andrew>ocamlopt -verbose a.ml

04:04 <aries> + ml /nologo /coff /Cp /c /Fo"a.obj" "C:\Users\andrew\LOCALS~1\Temp\camlasm4c3877.asm"

04:05 <aries> thats the verbose output of compiling

04:05 <thelema> (that might have been better as a pastebin)

04:05 <aries> ahh yeah forgot about that

04:08 <aries> http://pastebin.com/eLVirwXv

04:08 <thelema> I don't see any problem with that, but I'd not consider myself qualified to judge more than that you were producing camlprog.exe with your compilation

04:08 <aries> to be honest, i just don't even know where to start

04:08 <aries> does the error indicate a linker problem?

04:08 <aries> a runtime loading problem?

04:08 <thelema> I'd suspect flexlink - shouldn't it be part of ocaml?

04:08 <thelema> (and not separate)

04:09 <aries> i believe its in HEAD

04:09 <aries> i'm using the prebuilt windows binary on website, which is only v3.11.0

04:10 <thelema> is that binary for 64-bit or 32-bit windows?

04:11 <aries> it doesn't say on http://caml.inria.fr/download.en.html , but i'm running 32bit. the masm command appears to indicate 32bit

04:14 <aries> Dependency Walker claims that MSVCR90.DLL is required by camlprog.exe but missing somehow. maybe my windows7sdk install is messed up. i'll keep looking. thanks for your help
