I get this error when I put in opam install ocaml-windows.

I done opam install conf-flambda-windows before, and opam repository add windows git://github.com/ocaml-cross/opam-cross-windows before as well.

Can someone explain why this fails to build? Or what I can do?

Did you install both gcc-mingw-w64-i686 and gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 as listed in Prerequisites?

I installed the mingw in the Prerequisites, but now still an error. ocamlrun is in my /usr/bin, not in my opam, which I don't understand why it should be in the opam bin.

I made a link target, so ocamlrun is added in the opam bin, so it should target to the /usr/bin/ocamlrun.

I ran the opam install ocaml-windows again, but another error...

It is some weird error that I don't understand.

Can someone explain why this fails to build? What can I do?

Are you trying to install 64 bit? If so, try getting rid of the link target and run opam install ocaml-windows64.

jackprogramsjp commented

I put my OCaml compiler to 4.11.2, and it worked. Other versions like 4.11.1 and 4.08 did not work and errored, so I find the README.md misleading. Thank you for your help @BarronRauEA
