MLton runs on MinGW, a library for porting Unix applications to Windows. Some library functionality is missing or changed.

Notes

  • To compile MLton on MinGW:

    • The GnuMP library is required.

    • The Bash shell is required. If you are using a prebuilt MSYS, you probably want to symlink bash to sh.

Known issues

  • Many functions are unimplemented and will raise SysErr.
