Cannot build on windows (Lwt 2.4.5)

[braibant]

Here is the log according to opam (but I also get this error if I compile "by hand").

[braibant]

In the end, I compiled it using WODI. There is another way to compile Lwt by hand, which involve modifying the first line of setup.data to give a correct path to ocamlfind.

It looks like WODI has a number of patches that haven't been submitted here. Looks like os_type is Cygwin instead of Win32 as the discover.ml expects.

I'm getting a different error here (not enough quoting).

(opam is a cygwin executable; ocaml is the native toolchain)

@braibant I believe this has been solved by Cygwin upstream, as pointed out by fdopen in the duplicate issue #173. Current Lwt does build on Cygwin now.

@msprotz: This looks like a problem with something other than Lwt, I would guess OCamlbuild, but perhaps OPAM instead. Please check those projects, and let me know if you are still having this issue, if you think it is with Lwt, and you would like to resolve it :)

[msprotz]

Apparently I managed to install it eventually so we're good. Thanks for the reply!
