Hello!


I have now released the Win32 port of the latest MLton (20010806) -
at least as far as I have come until now:
http://www.HardcoreProcessing.com/pro/mltonwin32/index.html

However, I don't know how to bootstrap the latest version of
the compiler for crosscompilation. You can try following the
description above for what I'm doing until now - but when
trying to compile the actual crosscompilation libraries
it fails.

You can see the output in the attached file...
Apparently it is trying to execute a file during
compilation which has been crosscompiled for Win32.

I hope that you are interested in having the port in
the official version and that you can modify the Makefiles
appropriately for the various platform installations.
I believe that all my changes are safely contained within
#if defined(_WIN32) macros - so that the same distribution
should work as a native Linux compiler too.

And on behalf of my computer I'm also starting to feel
outdated. I have to activate at least 512MB swapspace
on a machine with 512MB RAM to compile MLton, and then
it's taking a whole night to compile. Sigh...
I need more memory - again :)


Cheers
